Play soothing quiet music at nap time and bedtime. This will help show your child how music can soothe and be a comfort. When your child is active, play music with a more pronounced beat, encourage your child to help you choose music that matches the activities going on. Have some fun and make up your own words to different songs. Create a song to celebrate a special event such as writing their name for the first time.
Music is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our unique cultures.
Listen to music from other countries occasionally. Try to find the differences in what you customarily listen to. Help your child to find the similarities, and above all celebrate with music. Teaching your child to love music and appreciate it can start when they are very young. Musical activities help develop language, math, and social skills.
