December 04, 2008

Have I mentioned how much I like Lisa Matsumoto's work here before? Hee hee. I think I have. But it's true. And she loved our Keiki.

Summertime Music

July 01, 2008

I've mentioned in a previous post that providing Noah with adequate exposure to music is probably one of the biggest areas I lack as a parent.   I don't mean to not pay attention to this part of his life, but it's just turning out that way.   But the summer weather is inspiring me to do something about it.     I've done some research and made a list of the musical events I want to  Read more...

Mozart, Moby or Miles: looking for music to boogie to

May 30, 2008

If there's one part of Noah's life that I haven't paid as much attention to, it's music. We play the standard kid's music CD for him in the car, and we sing all the mandatory kid's songs with him (twinkle twinkle, itsy bitsy and if you're happy and you know it), but I have not as of yet thought of getting him any formal training or taken him to the symphony.
