Parents can begin communicating early with babies by teaching them American Sign Language
By Debbie Cafazzo
TACOMA, Wash. – At 3 months old, Regan Finn started signaling to her parents when she needed a diaper change. At about 5 months, Katie Mingus could tell her parents when she needed help with something. And when she was 8 months old, Andelyn Boothby could ask clearly and politely for more milk.
Child prodigies?
The babies' parents attribute their children's early communications skills to the use of American Sign Language, or ASL. Neither the children nor their parents are deaf. But these Pierce County, Wash., parents say learning sign language helped boost their children's language development, both in sign and in spoken words.
"I went into it skeptical," says Jim Finn, Regan's dad. "But I've been blown away by the results."
Finn and his wife, Jody, who studied ASL in college, began signing to Regan from birth.
Every time they changed her diaper, for example, they made the sign for change. Eventually, Regan, who is now 20 months old, started making her own version of the sign.
"It probably saved us untold diaper rashes," says Finn.
Rebekah Mingus, mother of Katie, who is now 17 months, says that learning to sign with her daughter probably sidetracked many tantrums. And Michelyn Boothby, Andelyn's mom, says she was astounded at how fast her daughter, now 18 months, began stringing words together in sign language.
"It floored me," she says. "Before she was even a year old, she was putting words together." (read more)
As I have been teaching Sign & Sing created by Kindermusik and Signing Smart I have seen many of the same phenomenums. Signing children, talking earlier, parents amazed at what their children communicate, happier children due to lack of frustration, it is truly amazing! We are offering our Sign & Sing B, for children who already have begun signing and parents who want more, next Wednesday, March 18th at 9:15am. Our next Sign & Sing A will be scheduled as soon as we have interest.
Are you interested? Link through our website and let me know!

Fall Semester begins September 2, 2008 at Kindermusik of Clayton & Voice of Clayton
Check out our Kindermusik Curricula Descriptions below
and please visit our Website for the Schedule and Registration information.
Village (newborn to 1 ½ years)
Zoom Buggy!—Swoosh, vroom, and clickety-clack your way through this delightful unit. Babies and adults will dance, sing, and play instruments to the theme of being on the go. Chug around the room to the song "Little Red Caboose," hold on tightly while "Riding in the Buggy," and dance your way to "Zoom-e-oh!" Engage in rituals and playful activities such as infant massage, lap bounces, exercise, and quiet time.
Dream Pillow—This title alone brings images of rocking, cuddling, singing, and lulling to sleep. But leading up to sleepy time are many upbeat and playful activities. Babies and Adults will swirl to a dreamy cloud dance "Meet Me Tonight in Dreamland." They'll also play baby appropriate instruments to "Aiken Drum," and "Sarasponda." Favorite nursery rhymes like "Wee Willie Winkie," and "Diddle, Diddle, Dumpling," are sprinkled throughout the classes. It's easy to weave many of the class songs and activities into your families' daily routines. Home Materials: Board book that calms and relaxes—Dream Pillow Lullaby, Home CD of the songs heard in class, two Art Banners, and a baby instrument for music-making at home.
Our Time (1 ½ years to 3 years)
Milk & Cookies makes everyday home activities and chores easier and more fun with music! Cook and sing to "The Muffin Man"; dust and clean to the original song "In My House"; get ready to wash clothes to the delightful poem "Washing Machine". Baking cookies, eating cupcakes, blowing on hot cross buns, wiggling like jelly, going grocery shopping and making tea are all represented in familiar as well as new songs. Move, play, and sing together in developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 ½ to 3-year-olds. Capture the familiar and new moments of the day and learn how music can impact your toddler.
Home Materials: Two Books—At My House and Cookies, Two Home CDs, Stir Xylophone instrument, and a Home Activity Book—all arriving in a durable lunch bag.
Imagine That! (3.5 years to 5 years)
Hello Weather! Let's Play Together!—sunshine, rain, snow, thunderstorms, and more in this imaginative and delightful weather-related musical adventure. Preschoolers create storm sounds with a drum to "Wild Storms," jump in pretend puddles to "Mud Puddle Jump," throw pretend snow-balls to "Snowballs," and sing along to "Colors of the Rainbow." They'll be surrounded in a creative musical environment that integrates music, pretend play, story telling, movement, and more.
Home Materials: Two books—Michael Finnigan and Hurry Home, Little Kittens, Hello Weather Play Set, Two Home CDs, Family Activity Book, and Instruments—ankle bells and rain shaker with scraper.
Young Child (5 years to 7 years)
A pressure-free approach to learning, but concrete enough because your child is ready for the more abstract thinking processes that music requires. Play remains the primary way a young child learns, so throughout the curriculum there is a consistent effort to balance active learning with the emotional reasoning aspects of a young child's development in mind.
Home Materials: Children's Folder, Music At Home cards & stickers, Games Bag, Family Songbook, Home CD, and Carry Bag. Instruments can include glockenspiel w/mallets, dulcimer, and recorder.
Family Time (Newborn through 7 years)
Here, There and Everywhere—the five sub-themes center around different family outings: a visit with a friend, an outing at the park, a trip to the city, an afternoon at the aquarium, and a day on the farm. Move like animals with this unit's story Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap! And follow a girl's adventure as she loses her jambourine during the day's outings and then finds it in the story Jingle-Jangle Jambourine.
Home Materials: Two Books—Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap! and Jingle-Jangle Jambourine, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, Board Game, Waggs the dog Hand Puppet and Finger Puppet, and Two Jambourine instruments.
Sign & Sing (6 months through 3 years)
Session A: Everyday items around the house—a ball, bubbles, mom and
dad—become the objects of learning in the classroom and at home.
You'll teach parents the sign language methods of the experts, such as making the sign in front of a child, on a child's body, and knowing when a child is most engaged and ready to learn. All assembled in this easy-to-understand format so you can open your teacher's kit, and be in the classroom teaching with confidence.
Session B: This session reviews the first three Keys to Signing Smart Success™ and provides an in-depth look at the final and fourth Key. New concepts such as in and out, up and down, big and little, tall and short will be explored with more songs and animal-themed activities.

Kindermusik focuses on early Literacy!March 14, 2008 at 8:48 pm | Posted in books, Delopmental Stages, emergent literacy, Kindermusik, Language, Parenting, School Readiness, Sign & Sing | 1 Comment
Tags: 17 month old reads, Ann Curry, Elizabeth Barrett, Today Show
On March 10th Today show host Ann Curry interviewed a family with a 17 month old who can read. She identifies complicated words and even cursive.
"We tried to do everything we could to try to stimulate her language growth," Michael Barrett told Curry. "From day one Katy has been using sign language with her. We think anything relating to language is a good thing to nurture."
She is amazing! See the video here…
Kindermusik is one such activity that helps your child's interest in reading. Language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play and Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills within the structure of the classroom experience. Our home materials, if used on a regular basis, give parents the tools to continue this learning at home. Kindermusik also offers Sign & Sing to families with children 6 months through 3 years.
Check out Kindermusik classes for your child. You may be surprised at what they will learn in addition to music! Remember Kindermusik is a whole brain, whole child, whole body experience!

Newborns to 18 months
Hop on the hayride—it's time to head for the farm! In the first unit of Kindermusik Village, will will sing songs about the farm, engage in rituals and playful activities for baby and caregiver, including infant massage, lap bounces, exercise, and quiet time. During our second unit, we will stop and smell the roses—and lily of the valley, and tulips, and pansies as we play and move together to songs about spring. At Home Materials include 2 CDs of beautifully arranged songs from class, 2 fun and beautifully illustrated board books, and 2 age-appropriate instruments for music-making at home.
Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This delightful unit focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Read stories about ways to get around. Move, play, and sing together in developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 1/2 to 3-year-olds. At home materials include 2 CDs, a Home Activity Book, 2 storybooks (Shiny Dinah and Giddy-Up!), 2 harmonicas, and a train carrying box.
What's more exciting to a preschooler than a new toy? How about an entire Toy Shop full of toys! This unit is focused on creating a stimulating musical environment that integrates music, pretend play, story telling movement, and more. Toys I Make, Trips I Take introduces the musical environment of a remarkable toy shop, filled with boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the-box and many other toys that bring a glimmer into a child's eyes. Each week provides your preschooler an uninterrupted session of imaginative play that's guided in a very specific, sequential way—with a special Family Sharing Time with you in the last 15 minutes of class. At Home Materials include two CDs, Family Activity Book, Toy Shop play set, a drum, two beautifully-illustrated storybooks and a backpack.
Make Way For Music
In Make Way for Music, families will sing, dance, and move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high and low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. They'll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam. In their At Home Materials, families will receive two fingerdrums, one Sing, Play, & Grow home activity guide, two children's storybooks (Drum Circle and Animals on Parade), a hand puppet and finger puppet of Rex (the lion member of Family Time's Jellybean Band), and an instrument-matching board game. Get the family band together, and Make Way for Music!
January – Rhythms of the Land 4-6 years
In class we'll explore the rhythms and sounds of Native American music. As we investigate, compare, and contrast a wide variety of drums and the materials they're made from, your preschooler develops the investigative vocabulary she'll need in the sciences. When you repeat that learning pattern at home and share the activities in your Student Kit, your child gets an early start in math, too. Student Kit includes jingle stick, CD, and mini-literature magazine. February – Sounds AboundThis month we'll use a new instrument: our bodies. In class we'll explore all the sounds we can make with our mouths, our bodies, and our own two hands. With your Student Kit find instructions for instruments made from found objects around the house and play along with the music. Do so and your preschooler develops an early understanding of technology and how one material can be used to make something else. Activities in your Student Kit help you bring these big ideas home when you take part in the listening, turn-taking, and sound-effect making activities. Student Kit includes CD and mini-literature magazine.March – Dance With MeThis month, we'll feature the music and dance of "one-two" rhythms, and "one-two-three" rhythms. In class, we'll hear real instruments from the ballet and learn a few dance steps, too. Activities like dance, where your child follows a short sequence of instructions, helps to strengthen memory and his ability to follow directions. At home, play the CD in your Student Kit and let your preschooler show you a new step or two. Student Kit includes lumi stix, CD, and mini-literature magazine.

Mobile data communications
Traditionally, your mobile office capability will have depended on separate provision for broadband, PDA and ISP services; pgl com bring all these elements together and manage them for you, taking in dedicated laptop email, Blackberry, PDA or datacard technology to enable controllable, company-wide communications.
Your staff can access CRM, email, and documents held on servers from remote locations, as well as utilising non-geographic telephony to enable better customer access. Wireless datacard technology makes home-working a realistic option for many businesses.

- Key : F# – F
- Size: 146,7 cm
- Mouthpiece: 3,4cm
- Bell: 9,8 cm
A serious F# with a bit of age to it! This instrument was aquired from Djalu by Jeremy Cloake back in 2003. Jeremy has kept it in his private collection since but now it was time for him to let it go.
And what a stick it is! If won't have any problem to put it in my own collection but I can not keep all yiḏaki that I come across…
Very powerfull! Very loud! Very resonant! And a dream to play!
This is a yiḏaki for a musician that wants to rock the stage.
It is well balanced and fairly light for a Djalu yiḏaki.
Do I need to need to keep raving on?
This stick is perfect!

Global giant Panasonic has chosen GITEX TECHNOLOGY WEEK as the location to make its declaration on the environment for Africa and the Middle East.
Panasonic chose the region's number one IT exhibition to outline its goal to become the region's number one Green Innovation Company. By making its Eco Ideas Declaration in GITEX's Al Multaqua Ballroom, the Panasonic Group has reaffirmed its group-wide global commitment to drive eco-innovation by 2018, Panasonic's 100th anniversary.
With this in mind, the company is pursuing its Eco Ideas for Lifestyles by promoting sustainable and comfortable green lifestyles as well as eco-ideas for business, which will reduce the environmental impact of its business operations and spread green technologies and ideas throughout the organisation and beyond. Panasonic maintains that these environmental efforts can successfully be combined with business growth.
Seiji Koyanagi, managing director of Panasonic Marketing Middle East, says: "Panasonic is strongly committed to conserving the environment. As a global leader in the electronics industry, it is our duty to ensure a sustainable future. We pledge to reduce CO2 emissions by 15% from our facility and double the sales of our industry-leading environmentally conscious products in the region. We will also encourage Panasonic employees to lead conservation efforts in co-operation with the local communities."
In numerical terms, Panasonic aims to double regional sales of its 'superior green products', which have achieved the industry's highest environmental standards, by 2013.
It aims to educate 100,000 customers by celebrating a monthly Green Day in showrooms, where eco-booklets featuring energy and water conservation tips will be made available to all customers.
