Sing to them at a young age to expose them to different types of music and help their understanding of rhythm. Choose songs that are repetitive with short phrases, as toddlers may not be able to focus for longer periods without needing breaks. As your child's interest in learning an instrument grows, it is important to find the right teacher for them as well. Finding an instructor who understands how young children learn best will help ensure that lessons are fun and educational. Sing along with music on the radio or your phone, this can be a great bonding experience and an easy way to start singing together while you are cooking dinner for example. Play instruments alongside singing so they can hear the sound differences between each one, or sing while As children get older it's important that they find their own passions and interests, so encourage them to explore different types of musical instruments.
