Kindermusik Trial Class
12:00 PMAfter 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
- 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.
- A round of introduction with the teacher who sang beautifully. Almost like Nanny Maria in Sound of Music.
- The drums were introduced and the parents were taught some rhythm tapping and my dear glutton was more keen on chewing the drumstick. Hurhur.
- Rattles with belles were distributed and we continued with shaking and tapping them.
- A dance item continued with parents holding their bubs.
- Bubble time!
- 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.
- 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.
