Kindermusik Trial Class

12:00 PM

After the first trial class with MyGym, I was tempted to bring C for more trial classes to get a better grasp of his interests before actually signing on full packages and regretting thereafter. Kindermusik offers a pocket friendlier trial class at just $20, dollars off their full priced classes of $25.67.

Contacting them via whatsapp or phone is definitely faster than email (snail mail would be more appropriate given the speed of response) so over a short exchange I booked him for a weekend class at Katong V.

Turns out there were 4 in the class, of which 3 were there for trial classes and they ranged from 6-18 months.





How did the lesson go? 

45 minutes comprised of
  1. 5-10 minutes of free play time where they placed some balls on the carpeted floor and C had a ball of time literally chasing them. He made himself heard when they had to be kept. Ohoh.
  2. A round of introduction with the teacher who sang beautifully. Almost like Nanny Maria in Sound of Music.
  3. The drums were introduced and the parents were taught some rhythm tapping and my dear glutton was more keen on chewing the drumstick. Hurhur.  
  4. Rattles with belles were distributed and we continued with shaking and tapping them. 
  5. A dance item continued with parents holding their bubs.
  6. Bubble time! 
  7. They were placed on this huge fabric and parents were made to go in circles. C was clearly disinterested in getting dizzy with the rest and climbed out. LOL. 
  8. Finally goodbye with a song.

What I loved about it?

The teacher's vocals. I kid you not I was enthralled but C was barely engaged inspite of her amazing range and tone!

What I didn't? 

It is a pity the babies weren't entirely the same age group and each had their own agenda (one even fell asleep mid way!). Even I found the lesson on the boring side, much less the babies with shorter attention spans.

So would I sign on?

Nope, not now at least. At this point classes with alot more movement interests this curious 9 month old more than sitting still and listening to music. To be fair, his fellow 8 month old classmate was content sitting and going through the activities very well so this just didn't work for us.


Bored with bubbles, haha!
