Episode 053: Kids and Music

The gift of music is one that every child deserves to receive.  The cost is little and the benefits are extraordinary.   “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” - Plato   When it comes to kids and music, the bottom line is to create opportunity and make music a normal part of life from an early age.   Music is a great tool and resource for us all to have access to as we move through all the phases of life, and when appreciation for it is modeled for us at an early age it is much easier for us to incorporate into our lives as we individuate. There are many schools of thought and methods of how to best accomplish the task of introducing our children to music.  In this episode, we discuss many of them and offer some fun suggestions to help you bring more music into your homes and daily activities.   Resources From This Episode: Ana Rainville - Singing Games: http://www.annarainville.com/publications.html Shea Darian - Seven Times the Sun: http://www.sheadarian.com/ Music Together: https://www.musictogether.com/ Mothersong: https://www.mothersong.org/ Womb Song: http://wombsong.com/ Community Music School (Celtic Music Camp): https://www.communitymusicschool.org/
