Lil Duck started Kindermusik this week and LOVED IT! He was so energized, in a good way 
. The mental stimulation is giving him yet another way to direct his enthusiasm in a very constructive manner.
Being a very musical family (Mama Duck has a degree in music performance and Daddy Duck is also very musical), Lil Duck naturally has an interest in creating music. Since Mama Duck used to teach piano to young students, she is well versed in the training of young musical ears and highly recommends the Kindermusik program. If you are thinking your child doesn’t have such “musical genes”, please encourage their musical abilities and interest if for no other reason than mental development and personal enjoyment. Plus we don’t know what hidden talents our children have until those areas are encouraged and allowed to develop.
We encourage you to check out their website and contact a local teacher for further inquiries. Below is the information from their website for Babies (0 to 18 months) and we will be posting the information for the other ages as well.

Check out this contest…
Swiffer and Warner Music have teamed up and created a contest called the “Swiffer Break-up Music Video Contest.”
Here’s the best part : The Grand Prize for the contest is $15,000.
Here’s how it works:
Swiffer-lovers can submit a short video to YouTube that demonstrates how they “broke up” with their old cleaning products and now use Swiffer for all their cleaning needs.
If you enter, you receive 10 downloads of “break-up” songs to use in the video (that’s one of the requirements).
The top 10 videos will be posted to YouTube for the general public to cast a vote for their favorite and the video with the most votes wins $15,000.
You can find a complete list of rules, prizes and approved “break-up” songs at the Swiffer brand channel.
Please keep in mind that this contest ends tomorrow, 1/30 so have some fun making your video and you might be a winner!
Looking for good Christian music for your children? Tired of dumbed down lyrics and low quality music? You will enjoy the group, Go Fish. They have lyrics that teach with quality music that parents and children enjoy. We have enjoyed this trio for years and are delighted that they have children’s music for Lil’ Duck (he LOVES their songs) and we love listening to it! (I love it for workout music too.)
Being a musical family, vocal and instrumental quality with the good lyrics are so important and is amazing in the sounds they create with just their voices and percussion.
Using music to teach is a proven, enjoyable way to memorize, so you need to listen to the new spin on a classic Sunday school activity – memorizing the books of the Bible in the song titled “Bible Book Bop”. What fun!
Dads, here is a tip for a special Mother’s Day gift she will never forget – have the children learn “The Mom Song” which was inspired by the group’s participation at MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) conventions. And if you want tears, listen to the song, “You’re My Little Girl”. For a new baby, try “Welcome to the World”.
