- Sing With Your Child – You don't have to prove to be the next Super Singer or American Idol, but chances are your children and family will definitely think of you as their roll model/idol even if you can’t carry a proper tune – young children will not even notice rather will have lots of fun correcting or teaching you to carry the right tune and you’ll probably have a lot of fun together.
- Create Music with Things Around the House –Get creative and look for every day things that you can transform into a musical instrument such as pots & pans, spoons & forks, sticks & towels. Don't forget that your counter tops or table top can turn into your drum machine, sound of your ceiling fan can be your pitch pipe. Cups with different water level can be your musical instrument.
- Introduce Your Child To All Types of Music – Do not get stuck to only music from one ethnicity or single genre. Add variety to your child’s life by playing a different type of music each day, whether it’s Indian, Western, Japanese, or Indonesian , classical, pop, movie song, country, rock, rap, jazz, hits of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, camp songs, or simply good old-fashioned children’s music. It sure will create great open mindedness, appreciation towards wholeness, well roundness and literacy in all music.
- Buy A Small Instrument – A cheap way to introduce your child to an instrument and have them experiment with creating different sounds and tunes.
- Let Your Child See You Play or Sing – If you play the piano or any other instrument or sing any type of music, involve your child: have her sit on your lap while you play or sing a few tunes and talk about the parts of the instrument you play or phrases of the tune you sing, or explore together.
- Try a Music Class – There are so many classes available and some of them are surprisingly affordable. Pick one that offers a good variety of activities such as music making with easy instruments, singing that gives motivation, fun and education while enjoying tunes, and music listening and reproducing. Make sure to try to select a class that’s age-appropriate.
- Music is a Performing Arts – Kids love to see themselves in spot lights, hear themselves loud on the microphones and be on a stage involved in an act . Just put on to their favorite music and encourage your children to dance, sing, and enjoy themselves.
- I guarantee you that you sure bring the Joy of music into your family & in your child’s life for a happy & healthy relationship in your home.
