Read Lynne Hockenbury’s article entitled “Why Music?“
“Thank you so much for offering this music group. My son loves singing so much at home. He loves to sing all the traditional favorite songs which you sing with the group, along with a few unusual ones that he has heard and picked up from family and from popular kids’ music. His latest favorite is from the Muppets soundtrack. The words he will sing over and over are ‘I have everything I need right here in front of me.’ He falls asleep to his daddy often singing what he calls the moon song – with Ernie saying he doesn’t want to live on the moon; a visit may be nice but would miss all the people he loves if he lived there. Just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you providing this opportunity and working and explaining everything to us adults. Thanks a million times over.” K.M., a mom who enrolled her son in one of our music groups
