Ds is 4 in September. He loves music and is forever playing his little ELC keyboard.
When he had just turned 3 he had picked out a dozen or so nursery rhymes and taught himself loads of his favourite TV themes and music from the radio etc. He can beat out quite complex rhythms and tells me off if I'm singing out of tune. His sense of rhythm is way better than mine (I'm grade 7 piano and violin). You get the picture.
Anyway, we went to one of these pre-school/toddler music franchise thingies and the teacher apologised after a week and said it would bore him and she would look into something more advanced. But everything starts at 5.
What could really get him excited about music? He couldn't sit through a 1/2 hour lesson quite yet, but there must be something that would fire him up? Are there any really simple music books so he could carry on experimenting?
