I came across this video and I just think it is amazing! I don't know anything about this kid, but I know he's got rhythm! I know sometimes it might be annoying or irritating to let our children explore the sounds in their environment, but allowing them to explore and discover through their play, is crucial to their learning. I'm not saying we should all sit our children in front of a washer and dryer and tell them to drum, but if your 18month old starts to bang on the washer while you're putting a load in (like mine loves to do!), then let him explore that sound for a few minutes! He will learn how his physical actions effect the sounds he can make, dynamics, beat, rhythm, etc... Who knew that a simple home chore could be so musical!? :)
