A new step
I have been training Prisha to pay attention to difference in tunes, rhythm, etc so that she too can sing.I have always been fond of singing and did a lot of singing on stage too. I always wanted my kids too to be fond of dance and music.My son plays keyboard and Prisha too just ran her fingers.A part of me at times felt hurt at a thought that maybe she would never sing. But the singer in me never gave up and would sing along for her. I would exaggerate certain parts of singing to make her notice the difference in the notes, I would pat on her leg while the song would go on to get her the rhythm.Slowly, over now 4 years, she has got that rhythm and does try her singing.She does not always put words always, but at times we just make our own songs and laugh ourselves silly at what they sound like. They are like those typical mom-daughter moments.Her intonation is like a normal child.I asked my son's music sir if Prisha too learn the keyboard, he 1st asked me to wait for a year, but today he said he will take her now itself and he did not mind her coming everyday. I am so excited that she too would learn to play an instrument. we will try our best.i also have put her into Shiamak Daavar classes for performing arts, where she will attend 15 classes of dances. I spoke to her instructor for a feedback after 2 classes. She said that she was very happy with prisha's concentration. She had no problems understanding any instructions and did all the steps along with all the words. I am very happy with this new step in her life and hope she achieves everything she wants to.

How wonderful! Prisha does so very well, and the performing arts classes will be wonderful for her! I am sure she will achieve whatever she wants to in life- she is a clever girl!
ReplyDeleteThx Leah, my teacher says, performing arts are a must for every child, in Prisha's case, it will help her with the rhythm and tone of the speech too. She would acquire better listening skills too. I hope we are able to do we are setting out to do.
ReplyDeletewonderful! as humans v all love to dance n sing.i also feel sometimes that whether she would b able to appreciate music like us or not?yesterday v were at a party n i asked my friend whether she can understand what Rashi is saying but she said even though she is meeting her regularly she can't understand.even i also noticed that she is eating words but her therapist says she speaks ok with her.will she b able 2 speak clearly with more practise, is it an initial stage that all children speak like this when they started speaking.please comment.

It does happen as they do not have memory for sounds, they eat words.Insist on clearer speech and keep giving the correction. Break sentences so that she is able to speak them and do all the correction. Prisha does understand dance and music. As I had been constantly singing to her, she has started to sing quite well. She does change the pitch and takes in quite a bit of correction.She does need to be spoken to continuously and corrected regularly. The more she hears and the more she speaks, the better she would get. Take care.
