The fun:
*The girls did a fine job of learning a composer's style. I particularly enjoyed when I played a song and my eldest guessed correctly that the composer was Wagner. I asked how she knew and she said she knew it was Wagner because, "It sounds like someone is winning a war!" Great! Bwahahah, I am raising mini-geniuses. I am now feeling a bit motivated to continue playing the few select composers throughout the summer to keep quizzing them. I am pondering this even though I cannot believe some of the omissions, but whatev.
*This book (see below) was well worth the purchase. We put the CD in the player and read from the book. I did my best preschool teacher impression--full of uberduber voice inflections. I had the kids listening for the different sounds and walking around imitating the animals. The two oldests' attentions were rapt.
Check it out!
The failures:
*Did not have time to try out all of instruments in the house, but that's not so bad. It means we were busy!!
*The Sound Detective Game?? Yeah, apparently one of my daughters is a cheat! I would tip toe and her head would just turn and follow me. She just could not keep her eyes shut.
