Music -- General

Is your child interested in music? If so, the books here would be good ones to get. They cover every aspect of music and are for children of various ages. Gifted kids will love them.

 

 

Parenting Tip: Listening to and taking lessons in music can help children develop the following:
  • Concentration
  • Coordination
  • Relaxation
  • Patience
  • Self-Confidence

Provide your child with exposure to music early!  It doesn't  need to be classical music (but I don't recommend heavy metal or rap!)  Also give your child the opportunity to experiment with a variety of musical instruments.  They don't need to be expensive either. In fact, you can make your own with ordinary household items:

Elephant Trumpet
Falling Monkey Drums
Gentle Wind Guitar
Pot and Pan and Cymbals
Strawberry Traffic Jambourine Tambourine

Instrument instructions are from Paul Borgese
