Meryl's Music

By chance, Sloane's mother and I took her to Meryl's Music at Arts Alive on Sunday.
It was a pleasant little class with nice instruments. Perhaps a tiny bit canned.
The songs were age appropriate, naturally simplistic, targeted at the 2 to 5 year old. Specific education goals were being reached. Folk songs do the same thing with deep layers of meaning embedded, so I was pleased with "I've Been Working on the Railroad". Their version of Goin' for a Ride in the Car, Car" was not quite as good.
As for dance, the instructor did not suggest it, and only Sloane stood up to move to the music.
