Kindermusik with Teacher Jeannie

We first attended a Kindermusik trial class on June 22, 2007. It was Teacher Gimbey’s practice class, and we were privileged to attend for free because Teacher Gimbey is the friend of my good friend Eugene Teves. We liked the idea of a music class for CJ. We were looking for a class to improve his socialization skills. Nothing academic or structured. We had never enrolled CJ in any class at that time. We were careful not to send him to just any school because he might be traumatized and not like learning at all.

Anyway, during the practice class, it was Teacher Jeannie who really made the effort to make CJ comfortable with the surroundings and helped him participate in the class. The class was actually for 3-5 year olds, and we thought we would just be observing, but Teacher Jeannie was nice enough to let CJ participate. She was really nice and CJ liked her very much. So we enrolled CJ for the first semester class which started last June 30, 2007.
CJ likes his classes very much. He likes their play area. He likes the Pete and PJ book that’s part of the take-home kit. He loves, loves, loves the Home CDs too, so much so that we play them so many times during the day. I think the CDs now have so many scratches from being played too much. The CD player has also given up now. Daddy says it’s probably because the CD head(?) is dirty. We’ll probably be able to clean it by tomorrow when Daddy brings a cleaning kit.
I’d have to give some credit to Teacher Jeannie and Kindermusik for CJ’s improvement in his speaking, singing, and dancing skills. He is so musically inclined. And he loves to sing and dance. We are so proud of him.
