I have been meaning, for some time, to compile video of the various instruments Esme 'plays'. Thus far, she owns a kazoo, two shakers, a drum (featured in the latter three videos), a xylophone, bells, and any two objects she can bang together to create sound (and sometimes, rhythm).
She also enjoys playing her daddy's bass, guitar, drums, and has been experimenting with her mama's pan flute and her sister's keyboard. (She even dragged me from the very out of tune upright in our living room to the keyboard upstairs, indicating along the way that she doesn't like how the upright sounds and prefers the better sounding keyboard.) She's certainly not yet making what most would call music, but she is showing interest in playing and caring for the instruments. Today I grabbed three videos of her musically multitasking, and it seemed like this would be a good time to start the musical posts. Daddy may play bass, but Esme plays everything!
I hope you have enjoyed our little emergent musician. I look forward to being able to play actual songs with her in the not too distant future.

In this video, Esme find a way to use a Lincoln Log as a bow to play Daddy's guitar.
And for these next three, she's playing both her drum (Thanks, Cathy!) at the same time that she plays guitar, whether strumming or as another percussion instrument.
The 'Weather Watcher' song featured in this video comes from her child care center.
