This is the first time I've posted on this section but I'm after some ideas.
My dad's family have quite a bit of natural muscicality going on, my aunt was the most amazing musician (not so much a nice person, I'm not hero worshipping!) singer and dancer. She was the most talented in the family, but it's certainly something that's come through the family as a whole.
Tink has shown some natural muscicality from the start. Before she could speak she could sing along to a song she'd never heard before and keep quite good tune, she'd be tapping the beat on her legs at the same time. She now sings constantly! She can make a tune out of the whistle on a recorder (her fingers don't reach the holes). She still has a really good sense of timing (even her comic timing is good!) and loves to dance.
I don't want to push her into anything, but I do want to encourage her, I'm not sure she'll be as good as her great-aunt was but I think she has a good chance of doing doing well. I've started taking her to ballet class at the local theatre which is 30 minutes for 2-4 year olds on a Saturday morning and is mainly just running around and getting them into the idea. I'm wondering if anyone has any other ideas of things I can do with her, she's 27 months old.
