Bang, Bang, Bang, that's what we'll be hearing a lot of this day forward. See, N has a bit of music interest.  One day he made a drum out of a cylophone bowl that had a lid and was banging on it like a drum.  So, one of my quests was to find him a drum.  I did find him a set, a toy set that is.  He was over joyed to have received this instrument.

I have decided that these set of noice making equipment will be put to good use.  So as part of learning, I will be having N watch some musical show and listen to the drums and try to play the sound of the drums he's listening to.  By no means do I expect that he will be able to complete such a fete, but at least by doing this exercise he will be learning beats, and listening to music.  I have already started him out on this exercise once.  See we have a favorite musical movie called Drumline, a perfect start.

And in the next month or so, we will be researching the other types of drums and learning about them.  He already knows of the bongo drum.  I think I will search out a concert that features drums.  Although I don't know that I'll find such variation here in the Santa Maria/Orcutt area. (one of the many reasons I miss the Bay Area, it's cultural learning)
