Kid’s Music Classes

How early should I sign up my child for a music class?  Can they be too young to start?

Children are never too young to benefit from an organized music class!  Of course, a lot depends on how soon you are willing to take your baby or toddler to a class.  There are Mommy-and-Me classes, sometimes called KinderMusik, offered by private individuals.  For my son's first birthday party, we had a KinderMusik instructor lead the children in songs and dancing.  There were fun props such as shakers and scarves which also encourage their participation and development of coordination.

Even if you do not join an organized class, incorporate music and rhythm into your child's day in fun ways.  They will benefit from playing child instruments such as a drum, tambourine or maracas as they march around the house.  Children naturally love to sing, dance and make music.  If they are encouraged in these areas, their creativity will blossom!
