I remember when I was little that I went to music group. This happened when I was a few months old up to about 4 years old. We played with maraccas and bells in time with music. We learned to play different instruments. Scarily enough the instrument I remember playing first was the cello. I have no memories of myself playing the violin until I was 5.
Do any of you have any memories like this?

When I was a toddler I had a child's music book with familiar songs and colorful drawings. I remember putting it on the floor, peering into the pages, and feeling like I was being transported into another world. And then when I was in elementary school in the late 1960s, a man presented a concert at an assembly using electronic equipment. I think it was probably a Moog synthesizer and I was very intrigued. I even gushed about it in my diary that evening. Family lore says that when I was really young, I announced that I was either going to be a Methodist or play the p-organ in the Catholic church. It didn't quite work out either of those ways (although I have played both piano and organ for a few small congregations when there was no one else around to do it) but it tells me that music was a very important focus in my life from very, very early on. I kind of like that! Cynthia

I remember kindergarten. The teacher used to hand out various "instruments" to all us kids. A stick with a few "jingle bells" on it. A stick with a wooden block to bang on. A hollow tube with a couple loose small gauge chains fastened to both ends and a handle on one end to hold it and rattle it. A small washboard and stick. Some other similar implements. The teacher would put on a record and we'd all make noise in time to it. This was in the days before these sorts of things would be classified as "lethal weapons".

In 1st grade at tha lil 2 rm. country school I received a red plastic harmonica fer Christmas
at the pagent we put on each yr. It took a good set'a lungs jus ta get sounds outt'a thet thing, but over time I larned many tunes on it.
Over tha yrs. I've always owned a harmonica. Today in my top chest drawer sits 4 of em, from a 12 note with 1/2 notes push button "Chrominica" to tha "Ole Stand-By" & "M. Honner" marine band in "G".
I'z kin still blow thet lonesome train whistle & do tha fox-chase.
( Beer-Barrel-Polka...my favorite).
