RMM (Recreational Music Making) and Kids - Alternative to the traditional Holiday Recital!

When our kids classes showed up this week. Steph, their teacher, and I sat down on the floor with the kids and asked them which tune or tunes they'd like to share with their friends and family - as a group, in a duet or trio or as a solo. Keep in mind they were NOT prepared ahead of time for this. Some of the kids picked a tune we started the week before and played only the RH. Some picked tunes they remembered playing a year ago. With no preparation, I shot video of the kids from my phone. Lori (music store employee) shot video of the Kidzone Class when I was needed to play for them. These videos are on this blog. Next week, instead of a Jingle Jam Session, we'll play the video for the kids and have a Cookie Party! Parents are thrilled to see their kids play and have the capability to quickly FaceBook or Tweet or Email the performance of their kids to friends and family across the country and out of the country. Several parents have said "Thank You" for not putting 1 more performance in the schedule during the Holiday Season! By the way . . . hope you enjoy the video clips!
