Family Yoga?

Well, I have been interested in Yoga for a long time.  However, I have never made it an integral part of my daily and/or weekly routine.  Now that I have a family it seems even harder to make time for it.  So what I'm thinking is that I need to find a fun and interesting way to bring my family into it, instead of finding time alone in which to do it.  I think by doing this I  may be able to keep up with it on a more consistent basis.

So I'm starting my search for ideas on Family Yoga.  Let me know if you have any ideas!

Peace!

Children and Music

I'm thinking about creating a music game for children using my recording equipment.  I'm not sure now how to structure the game, but the idea would be to have simple singing exercises pre-recorded to which they would sing over top on another track.  This would allow them to hear themselves to a greater degree than a voice student typically gets to hear.  And if you've ever heard struggling singers, or have been one yourself, you can appreciate the value of being able to hear oneself.  A person can be told that he/she is singing off pitch, but until he/she can hear for him/herself it won't make much of an impact.

So to that end I'm researching the vocal ranges of different ages of children.

I found this website that has a 10 point checklist for writing music for children that says the music should be from middle C to the G above for young children, and that can be extended by a few notes each way as they enter into the lower grades.

But I plan to post those activities here, for anyone to use as they wish.  So keep checking back!

Happy Anniversary Donna!!! Cinco De Mayo

Fifteen years ago today, I met my beautiful wife, Donna at her front door on N. Eastern street, Greenville, NC.  We have been together ever since and my life has never been the same!  She is my soul mate and best friend, and I don't know what I would do without her.  We have two beautiful children that keep our lives full and active and my life is very happy.

I love you honey!
