Kaeta’s favorite song (so far — she’s only heard a few) is apparently the Bob Marley classic “No Woman, No Cry.” I found this out because she was crying inconsolably, and that was the song that popped into my head to sing to her (for obvious reasons), and she immediately stopped crying and became happy again!
That was a couple of days ago, and I’ve used it several times since then with great success!
But today it didn’t work. I started to dispair, but then I remembered that I have an mp3 of “No Woman, No Cry” that I bought from iTunes (it’s the cover version by The Fugees). I started playing it, and she instantly stopped crying and got this very focussed look, like she was trying to figure out how music works. Very, very cool.
Music we’ve played for her includes Handel, Mozart, Brahms, Bach, Beethoven, and The Fugees. Her favorite so far is The Fugees. Well, whatever! 🙂
