I brought Eugene to a free trial Kindermusik class last saturday, a music shcool where located at Jalan Gopeng, Ipoh. Joern also joined the trial class! Kindermusik is a music and movement class for babies from newborn to 7 years old. I decided to bring Eugene to the class as he is interested in songs and movements since he’s trying his best to copy the moves from his movie’s clips, and dances when he hears some songs from Nursery Rhymes.
Every toddler has a chance to try the class first before enrolling, so may as well give it a try. Every kid will be accompanied by their parent, so it’s less scary for toddlers below 3 years old. Eugene and Joern were joined under 'Our time' curriculum which is for toddler age between 18 months to 3 years old. This curriculum contained of 4 unit Themes - "Woggles & Giggles, Away We Go!, Milk & Cookies and Fiddle-dee-dee." Eugene was really good and didn’t cry in the class. Nonetheless, he refused to participate as first and sat on my laps while he watched the other kids interacted with the teacher. I know he’s scared of the new environment and I didn’t pressure him to do anything, so we just sat there and observed.

Eugene and Joern were enjoying the class activities.
It was only after the teacher gave a set of 'egg maracas' to all the children, then Eugene started to enjoy the class. He’s holding tight to the 'egg maracas' and shaking them to make some sound, but he refused to follow the instruction. At least there’s a smile on his face, and that showed that he’s not as scare as he was. When the teacher asked them to put back the 'egg maracas', Eugene walked towards her and placed back the set, he’s not sticking to me anymore.
Yeah...its toast making time! Everyone started to sing: "Toast.., Toast.. I like it a lot... Toast... Toast.. when will it pop?...Toast..Toast.. time to pop!" They're already started to have fun when the toast maker toy passing to the kid one by one and let them to experience to make a toast. It’s good to see the way he’s interacting with kids in his same age group. At least his didn’t act rough to his “classmates”!
The class lasted only 45 minutes, it’s quite short but fun of activities. When I was enquiring about the fees and time table, Eugene’s having fun playing in the classroom with his friends. I asked if he liked the class and would like to come again, he said yes. Don’t know if he really mean it, but hubby and I “listened” to him and decided to enrol him. See if he really knows what he said!
