Going to Miss Sunny's

"Going to Miss Sunny's" -- written and composed by Skylar, 21 month old Our Time toddler. Starting pitch: D in duple meter.

Here's what Amber (Skylar's mom) shared: "She was singing it in all her glory, but of course when the video camera cones out I get the shortened version (children are so perceptive to knowing when they are being "watched," aren't they?). Anyway, this is what she was singing on the way to class, on the way home, and most of the afternoon."



Amber, this is quite an honor-- I have never had anyone compose a song about me! But what truly impresses me is the fact that Skylar, at only 21 months, is making music at home and experimenting with her singing voice and music concepts from musical contour (up and down of melodies) to dynamics (loud and quiet), patterns and phrases, rhythmic beat (in duple meter!), and lyrics with words and neutral syllables. Makes my heart sing with joy- Thanks for sharing!
