Sharing musical activities with your children can create a wonderful, lasting bond. Hands-on participation with you child/children is the key to building musical awareness, confidence, and enjoyment.
In past generations, music was commonly shared as an integral part of everyday life. In our current society, music involvement may be limited to observation rather than participation.
Encouraging participation from an early age through family interaction can greatly impact the total understanding and enjoyment of the art of music making. This musical sharing time should be a warm and rewarding experience for the whole family.
