Playing recorded music as part of your daily routine is a
great way to introduce your child to a variety of musical genres as well as to
help your child learn to use music in her life.
A children’s music CD can turn a traffic jam into a sing-a-long and a
lullaby CD helps everyone relax at bedtime.
However, be sure your child has a chance to use and hear her own voice,
too, by having times in the home or car when music or television is not playing
and you are quiet, too! It is during
these “quiet” moments that your child’s brain has a chance to process auditory
stimulation and respond with her own vocalizations. Don’t be surprised to hear your child humming
a known tune or making up a new song, words and all, while he colors at the
table, plays in the bathtub, or while he’s supposed to be napping. Go ahead and make a recording of your little
one’s serenades - a delight to your child now and a precious keepsake for years
to come.
