Turn off your tv and find a new way to engage with your kids! This is how folks entertained themselves before tv and ipods: sitting around and playing music together. Bring your child and yourself and learn to play Klezmer music. Read, listen and learn Klezmer tunes from sheet music as well as listening to CD's and learning by ear and through improvisation. Musicians do not need to be excellent on their instruments but do need to know how to play. (Instruction will not include how to play specific instruments.) The ability to read music is helpful but not required.
