Introduce music as soon as possible.

Sing, dance, clap, play instruments. You don't have to be a pro. You don't even have to be able to carry a tune. Just have fun with it. Play your favorite tunes for your children so they can see what moves you.  If you're having fun, they will, too!  Different kinds of music will have different effects on your kids. Pay attention to what they like, what energizes them, what calms them down. Music can be an amazing tool, inspiration and outlet for all that great energy.  My husband plays the guitar, drums and a little keyboard. I play the flute.  My older son loves trying different instruments and playing with sound. My baby joins right in with his own sounds. We all sing!  Music is one of the greatest joys you can share with your family.
