Many studies have shown that children who enjoy music perform better in school. This doesn’t
mean that you have to take a college class in music in order to help your child appreciate music, but
to spend some time talking about, and listening to a wide variety of music with your child.
If you start when your baby comes home from the hospital, you should spend some quiet time
with your child listening to and enjoying music. Sing along with the radio because it is important that
your child hears your voice, and the music.
When your child can sit in your lap, clap your hands in time to the music, bounce your knee
gently in time to the music. Dance with your child. All of these activities will help your child develop a sense of rhythm. lOMoAR cPSD| 60826700
