🤔 🤷🏽♀️ Letting your kid participate or lead an activity in their own way is hard for us adults. Almost immediately we want to put our kids into little conformist box, and to have them adapt to how WE, as adults, perceive how things SHOULD go. Sadly, this isn't how they learn, and can really restrain growth, if not take away from their curiosity of learning.
Even up to the age of 8 or 9 years, children are learning to do ALL THINGS through observation👁, experimentation 🧪, and mastery🎓. This spiral repeats all the time, and sometimes in very different ways. You might perceive your child not doing anything in our classes (particularly if you are sitting behind them), but watch them closely and you'll notice them watching what EVERYBODY ELSE is doing. Later, at home or away from class, you might notice them repeating the activity they saw in class, or even pretending to instruct their own class. In some cases, they'll sit you down and tell you THEY are the teacher, and will expect you to follow THEM. Letting go of our views of when and how they should participate is giving them the freedom to learn at their pace. All you have to do is to keep exposing them to music, and to play with them musically.
