Music To Foster Your Child's Love Of Music

Remember, the key is to have fun with your children! Allow them to have their own responses and emotions to the music to which they are listening.  There is no one correct interpretation of a piece.  Let them tell you what they feel when they hear the music.  Let them move to the music in a way that allows them to express themselves.  Let them enjoy it!

The list below is simply a list of some of our favorites.  Bottom line, if you and your child like it, it's valuable.  Enjoy!
