I found this video the other day while going through all my home movies I’ve made. I had forgotten all about it but when I saw it, it brought a smile to my face. As a musician and father, I was always looking for ways where I could practice and watch my kids at the same time………. I discovered that by putting my kids in a bouncy seat and playing tunes, I could practice while they worked on their ability to keep a beat. It would work well for about 30 minutes and then they would get tired and start crying. Later I’ll post the odd meter videos where Melissa is laying down some crazy 7/8, 11/8 and 19/16 time signatures. A couple of times in this video you can see her slow down because she’s bored with the everyday 4/4 time we are playing Dexterity in. This was filmed 10 years ago and today I can honestly say that all three of my girls have excellent timing and dance skills. I like to think they owe it all to their father……………..Enjoy!
Thanks for sharing! Inspiring to a new father of twins.
