There are many times when we choose the music we listen to and share with our children.
Music is used to reflect and influence our emotions.
Examples of music used in this way can be found in the movies and on television. Music can also be used as a tool to encourage us to be consumers, such as music heard in stores and restaurants. Music has been used since the beginning of recorded history as a way for adults to teach children about the customs of their culture. Adults would sing lullabies, nursery rhymes and story songs to their children that they themselves had learned at their parents' knee. As we celebrate the arrival of summer we have many opportunites to spend more time with our families.
