It's never to early to expose a young child to a variety of music forms. A love of music seems instinctive even to a baby. A newborn can be calmed by a mother's lullaby.
I remember visiting in the home of my son's family. Their young daughter was (and is) a very active child. She had trouble falling asleep because her mind would continue racing and imagining. Her wise mother would play peaceful music softly on the CD player. It set such a sweet, calm atmosphere.
I remember as a very young child dancing as my mother played the piano.
Expose your child to a variety of music styles. Play some Souza's marches and all march around the house waving flags. Hand everyone a rhythm instrument and enjoy playing Latin music. Tape a strip of crepe paper to a stick and twirl it around as you dance to Swan Lake.
Let your child see you enjoy many types of music.
What a marvelous smorgasbord of musical genres are out there to be enjoyed...by all ages.
