Music and Rhythm

One of the things we discovered about Caleb is his interest in music and rhythm. He generally enjoys music and never fails to start dancing when the music is more upbeat. He is also very interested in the musical instruments that make the music. Maybe it's just natural reaction for all children but that's probably one thing that we'll continue observing as he grows older.
Well, one thing we're quite sure of though, and that is he has a very good listening ear and can catch beats and rhythm pretty well. Sometimes when he hears upbeat music and starts dancing, he'll hit his thighs with both hands along with the beat.

For now, Caleb has been exposed to Daddy's guitar. He loves running into Daddy's study whenever he gets a chance to pluck at the guitar strings. And I must say he plucks quite well for a 15 month old. See video below and if you listen carefully, you can hear him say "guitar"


And here's Caleb hitting away on drums at Uncle Darius' house


And here's Caleb with his keyboard. Just switch on the demo music and you'll see him swinging into action with his dance
