Saxophone
Two weeks ago, Mummy found some old music CDs from the famous saxophonist- Kenny G in the house. Mummy thought it will be a good idea to expose little Zo Ee to different type of music. So everyday, Mummy tries to play a few of Kenny G's great pieces to little Zo Ee. As usual, Mummy introduced little Zo Ee to this special sound - saxophone. Initially, whenever Mummy played these CDs, Mummy will tell little Zo Ee , "Zo Ee, that's the saxophone. Do you like this nice music?" Now, whenever little Zo Ee hears these music CDs, immediately little Zo Ee will comment, "saxophone!" .
Guitar
What surprised Mummy was , little Zo Ee is able to recognize the guitar's sound too. Little Zo Ee heard this sound (at the beginning of one particular Chinese song) while we were in a private feeder bus. Little Zo Ee was so excited, kept telling Mummy, "guitar! guitar! guitar!" Little Zo Ee kept yelling this to Mummy until Mummy responded, "guitar?" So Mummy looked around; front, back, left and right but Mummy didn't see anyone carrying a guitar. Again, the impatient Zo Ee kept yelling to Mummy, "Guitar! Guitar! Sound!" Ooh! with this comment, immediately Mummy could hear the guitar solo soundtrack being played on the radio too, just in time, just before the singer started to sing along with it. This incident really amazed Mummy that little Zo Ee not only can recognize the saxophone sound but also the guitar too. Although Mummy has yet to play her any guitar's music pieces yet, little Zo Ee did have some exposure during our short trips to Perth (played by Ah Chik Gong and Uncle Amin) and Ipoh (played by Gong-gong).
Upon reflection
Little Zo Ee can recognize the sound of the drum and bell too. She has been telling Mummy these sounds long time ago but Mummy just didn't as particular notice like the guitar incident recently. Maybe, little Zo Ee does recognize the sound of other instruments too but Mummy is yet to have the chance to discover.
Other music
With this amazing discovery, Mummy is planning to get a few more different music pieces of different musical instruments. Mummy has in mind to get some nice music from the famous Kitaro, Richard Clayderman etc. Of course, other than these, occasionally Mummy played Mummy's favourite Audiophile vocal collection (Zo Ee seems to love them too.) and Mummy's favourite classical music; Mozart and Bach at home too. Maybe Mummy shouldn't restrict little Zo Ee to Mummy's liking only but to widen little Zo Ee's exposure to other nice composers too.
