So much to discuss, first of all. My little music gig at the WAC is going really well. I went out on a limb yesterday and used some of the Musikgarten materials I have (remember that seminar I took). It went really well though I was a little afraid I wouldn't have enough planned to fill up the 1/2 hour timeframe. I did fill up almost 25 minutes but closer to 15 minutes of new material sort of fried the kids sooo I'm going to have to interspurse the new with older more familiar stuff. They were really cute though, we did a seashell song which required us all to sway like we were in a boat and it was very cute seeing the different variations on the task.
There is one little girl who is sort of a pistol, she kept asking to look in my purse(partly my fault for having such an attractive sparkly butterfly on the front I suppose) Later she gave up completely on the music class however when I left, she was singing quietly in the corner to herself some of the songs we had been singing earlier(perfectly on pitch) I felt like I wasn't getting through to her but I guess something stuck which was very reassuring!!!
Mr. Spot's last night was interesting. Some of my friends from school came to watch and that was so nice of them!!! I did tne new song again because I just really need to play it in public over and over again to get used to it, then I did Bitter Bread. At the end of my set some people in the back called for another one and the MC told me to go ahead so I did Not PIcasso(an old standby) It was so exciting to get to do three. PM and I are working on an origional together and maybe soon I can get him to bring his bass and play with me at mr spots. I'm getting close to the point of wanting to get all my songs really perfect and try to have a feature at Mr. Spot's someday. I would be sad if I got rejected so that's what's holding me back. Is there a pill or something that can stave off fear of rejection. I know I"ll have to get used to some if I want any part of the music business.

So, when are the twins old enough to start their music training??
:-jon
I know you've already been singing and playing to them, this is a great way to start. Hearing the music is helping to create those pathways in the brain even at an early age. Also moving to music with them is something you can do now. Sitting them in your lap and swaying back and forth while you sing or moving their little hands and feet to a rhythm is good also!!!
