Music

When first Anvita started learning her rhymes she intently watched her Rhyme CDs and listened to me singing for her.
Once she caught hold of that, she understood a few words and would sing along.
The next step for her was listening just the music and then recognising the respective songs for the tune (which is admirable).
Now, that she has learnt both she wants to put her own words into those song tunes which i think is a bad idea. That's because, this nuisance I need to bear all the time.
From past 2 days she is learning 'Jana gana mana' at school. Hope the National anthem doesn't get remixed and Rabindranath Tagore's glory is preserved.

Music

Apart from the usual English rhymes Anvitha's been learning a few old Kannada rhymes too and i think she loves them more than her English rhymes.
Her latest favourites are 'ಆಚೆ ಮನೆ ಸುಬ್ಬಮ್ಮನಿಗೆ ' and 'ರೊಟ್ಟಿ ಅಂಗಡಿ ಕಿಟ್ಟಪ್ಪ '. The former, she can sing complete chorus and the latter, only two lines.

Other than these rhymes, she has also learnt 'ಸ ನಿ ದ ಪ ' of karnatic music from her neighbourhood class where she makes her presence every now and then. Then too, she would want a book infront of her to guide her(!!!!) and her position should be cross legged while her palms play the 'ತಾಳ'.
