Sweet Stories from Class - Laila

We just finished our Summer classes.  What a hoot this summer was.; lots of everyone's VERY favorite songs, Trot Ol' Joe, Su La Li, and John, the Rabbit!   Teacher Laila was telling me this amazing story from a mom in one of her classes, and I said, "you HAVE to write that down". 

"I had a mommy come up to me in tears in class one day because her very young daughter was singing a song from one of our CDs. She had a video of this little sweetie singing in the middle of the mall, belting out the song like it was her job. What I found so incredibly touching about this is this mother simply couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t a moment she expected, and it took her by complete surprise. You see, this mommy, who is very enthusiastic and fun in class, still has a hard time singing without feeling uncomfortable. For her to hear her daughter singing without shame and enjoying herself was a feeling she hasn’t yet been able to have herself. Have you ever seen a parent experience their child doing something they have never done? It’s amazing. And although this mommy still hasn’t completely found her voice yet, I can see her having more and more fun in class every week."

Music can be so powerful in a child's life!  Thanks for sharing this story from class, Laila!!
