PASSAGE 1
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.
Play soothing quiet music at nap time and bedtime. This will help show your child how music can soothe
and be a comfort. When your child is active, play music with a more pronounced beat, encourage your child to
help you choose music that matches the activities going on.
When your child starts to try and sing along, encourage them with praise and don’t worry if they don’t
have all the words right. Have some fun and make up your own words to different songs.
