Music Appreciation
Two Cultural Activities
November 12, 2008
If you're looking for ways to show your children entertainment from a different country, then I have two opportunities for you. The first I'll highlight is Sangam, an Indian performance by the Anjali Dance Company of Sugarland. Children will see a variety of Indian dances performed as well as listen to the most beautiful accompanying music. The show is at the Miller Outdoor Theater, TODAY, at Read more...
Concerts This Weekend
October 22, 2008
I've said it a million times, but I'm a big fan of exposing children to a variety of music. Even more so, I'm a bigger fan of exposing children to music made by other children. If you agree, then check out the Houston School for the Performing and Visual Arts this weekend. They have two concerts: A wind/percussion chamber concert and a chamber orchestra concert. The wind/percussion is tonight Read more...
Seuss Symphony
October 09, 2008
Quick! Answer this: Would you like it in a box? Yes? You would? Then you've got to check out The Houston Symphony's Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham , this weekend. I'm so excited about this symphony show. You get to bring your little one to the symphony and also get to expose them to Dr. Seuss. Combining the two is almost absolutely brilliant. In addition to Dr. Seuss, you'll also hear other Read more...
Cultural Experiences at Miller Outdoor
October 05, 2008
Sometimes I get jealous of people with really deep cultural roots. You can say "my family is Vietnamese/Jewish/Namibian" and have all sorts of rituals, holidays and celebrations together. I'm half Cajun (French and Spanish) and the rest is Irish, English and Czech. My husband has more German but has some other different backgrounds including a bit of Native American (He's from Oklahoma). So Read more...
Strike up the Drums
September 26, 2008
My 2-year-old son seems to have a thing for drums. Anytime I turn a song up in the car, I hear "drums!' from the back seat. I'd also, for the record, like to pretend that he's playing the drums when he repeatedly hits his sister in the head. Or on the back. Or the leg. If your little one is into music (or just drums) then there's a show for you. Cypress Creek FACE will be hosting Strike 3 Read more...
Playlist: Songs For the Beach
July 01, 2008
I'm one of those people who are really sensitive to music. A good song can have me dancing and grooving and a sad one...well, it will have me down in the dumps in no time. (Obviously, I hardly listen to sad songs!) What I love about music is how it can set the mood for our days. Now that it is Summer and we're all looking for excuses to cool down, why not hit the beach or the pool? While Read more...
Summer Playlist: Dan Zanes
July 01, 2008
I'm going to admit that I'm not totally hip when it comes to music. In fact, I can't tell you the names of any up and coming musical acts or who is topping the charts this year. I used to be a bit better when it came to children's music, thanks to Disney and Noggin, but we don't have cable anymore. But, I do know that I love the music of Dan Zanes. There's just something about the tunes that Read more...
Miles, Mozart or Moby: Sounds Like Fun
May 30, 2008
I've always wanted to have musical children. You know the type; the kids who pick up a violin at age two and decide to dedicate their lives to making beautiful music? So, I only put headphones on my belly once during my entire two pregnancies and it was Weezer. Sue me. It is never too early (or too late, for those of you who, like me, didn't do baby music classes) for a bit of Read more...
The Sound of Young Voices
May 20, 2008
Ever wonder why shows like the Mickey Mouse Club were so popular? I know. Kids like to see other kids in action. It is human nature; they want to see just what their counterparts can do. If you want a chance to show your little one just some of the cool things kids can do, then you need to check out the Houston Children's Chorus. The chorus features 250 kids between the grades Read more...
