Nathanael Playing the Keyboard!

See how happy Nathanael is, when he gets the opportunity to play with the Keyboard. We also recently realized that we need to get him some sort of a banging instrument.... yeah something like a drum .. but where u can beat with your hands .. Bongo ... or one of those things. Play it like Beethoven !! :) As you can see even when Nathanael's playing with something that he likes, we make it as a form of a therapy And by kneeling, he strengthen his legs and hips muscle. Watch the Video where Nathanael plays the Keyboard [tags : darentiff nathanael zoejoy ]

Nathanael attended FGA's "Move Along With Your Music"

Yesterday was my first time bringing Nathanael to FGA's ( Full Gospel Assembly ) Support Group for Parents with Children with Special Needs. All the parents have a similiar needs as their children have special requirements. Noticed that most of the children in yesterday's group were much older than Nathanael. We had a very "entertaining" and educating (for me) time with Victor Tan. He's a lecturer at SEGI College in Early Childhood Development through music and he also helps out at the Spastic Centre each week. He really has a heart for children. And it was good to learn to see how music and movement and ryhtym all plays a part in helping your child to improve and develop. Victor was sharing on how he started developing ryhtym for his daughter that whilst she was still an infant, he would sing songs .. (ie Twinkle Twinkle , Jesus Love Me ... ) and taps the 4/4 ryhtym on his daughter. And in a couple of months, he used his other finger to tap the first beat of each...

Nathanael's Music Moment

Check out this cute video of Nathanael. Nathanael loves music. His current fav is " If You're Happy And You Know It, Clap Your Hands ". Anyway, currently Nathanael would tell us in a form of a gesture how he wants to hear more music. We use Tiff's phone (a Sony Ericsson W800i) ... and we realize that its such a great tool for Speech Therapy, cos we constantly use it to record our voices and playback and also play all his fav songs that he likes. Anyway, in this video you will see Nathanael in our bedroom last nite, sitting up and clapping along, as a song is being played. We purposedly ended the song midway, and check out his gestures to tell us, gimme more gimme more gimme more songs. We tried it out several times and he always did the same gesture.
