An expert in teaching creative children and helping parents understand their creative child, Catherine coaches parents, and works with students of all ages, teaching music and the piano, along with several other instruments. Creative people see the world and every aspect of the world differently from other people. As children we don't know we are doing that. Unfortunately parents think that their child is just being difficult. It wasn't until Catherine was in her 40s that she realized she WAS creative and that that was why she never really 'fit' in with what everyone else was saying or thinking or feeling. Since then she has been taking her experiences and helping others to understand what they are going through.

April's Notes For Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

Use pots and pans and other kitchen items to make a rhythm band with your young child. Then listen to this march music and play your rhythm instruments (pots and pans) with the music. You can even march around as you play.

Click here to listen and play along with the march.

Have your young child draw pictures of drums. Perhaps look online to find out about different types of drums.

Remember to go to my website http://sites.google.com/site/musicbycatherine for musical activities to do with your preschooler. Look under Preschool Music.

Have Fun!!!

  3. Not really, mom never liked me to do it a lot, she didn't want me to ruin her good pans. But my grama let me wail on them a few times when she was cooking. I know it sounded absolutely awful, but I sure had fun! :)
