Parents pass on their musical frustration to their children (most of the time), making them influential to a child’s growing up years. Whether you do or do not have any natural talent in music, anyone can literally expose kids to music with the help of Mom’s (and Dad’s too) fun way of learning, dedication and discipline
The Awesome Tips
1. During pregnancy, start playing music with genres such as classical, dance, instrumental jazz, blues with earphones not earbuds, not ipods but earphones like over the head one. While resting you may play music on top of your tummy, the way you speak to an unborn child. From inside the womb the baby can hear the music and who knows she/he dances with it!
2. Read creative books (yes start it while pregnant) it enhances your memory and increases your intelligence which the infant adopts.
3. Once the infant sees and feels the real world, play soothing classical music from the background, keep it at a low volume.

6. Buy your child with complete sets of musical instruments, from plastics to wooden material.
7. Bring your child to different music stores, music schools for kids for exposure where the child can absorb thorough understanding and start to build the love to learn musical instruments of his/her preferences.
8. The best time to enroll your child to a music school for kids is from five years old onwards. Suzuki style is one of the piano lessons I currently apply to my child. Do advance research on how to engage your child and what method to expose him/her.
9. Have them watch stage musicals and theater plays. Let them watch home DVDs of The Sound of Music, Mama Mia, Amadeus, Les Miserables musical, and the likes.
10. Singing, dancing and modulating with your child, it’s the best way to spend bonding and learning. Show your highest pitch and sing with your heart and lungs literally. Sing with passion, hand gestures, body movement and even dilated eyes.:) Children love to mimic, their observation will lead to something great, let them belt out the latest tune and compliment your child’s effort to boost their confidence.
