Isaiah's Music Class and Bonding Time with Daddy

Clare started Baby Music class at Mandeville when she just turned two years old. Baby Music class is a parent-accompanied group class. It aims to teach basic music theory, instruments, composers and music appreciation through play and songs and is conducted by 2 teachers.

We wanted Isaiah to attend Baby Music class too. When he was about to turn two, we went to enquire for upcoming Baby Music Class with Ms Loh. To our astonishment, we were told that the next available class is almost one year later. We decided to wait for this class since Isaiah was not able to communicate that time yet. We registered him and had to pay for a one term's fees and materials to secure his place in June though his lessons would only start in November as there were people on the waiting list.

For the first lesson, I was unable to accompany Isaiah as I was already heavily pregnant by then. Damon went in with him and I spent some time with Clare at United Square while waiting.

Daddy says that he was very cautious of his environment and did not dare to venture out of the comfort zone of him. He also observed the lesson rather than taking part in the class.

Today is Isaiah's third lesson, Daddy said he was able to participate well in the class now. Isaiah looks forward for his Music class every week.

After his Music class, Damon brought him to watch The Little Big Club show featuring Barney, Fireman Sam and Angelina. Isaiah likes Barney and he was initially very excited while waiting. However, the moment the music started and the comperes appeared on stage, he became very frightened and started to point to the exit and asked for me. His eyes became all wet. Damon managed to distract him using his hand phone and they managed to sit through the show.

This phobia is something that Clare had too. She didn't dare to watch all these live shows or music due to the loud music. Up til now, Clare still doesn't really dare to watch movies. I hope that Clare and Isaiah would overcome their fear completely very soon.
