“Music is to the soul, what words are to the mind.” – Modest Mouse

Unfortunate, but true! 😉😆🤣😂

Is your little one fascinated by the guitar and other instruments? In order to PLAY music they first need to PLAY WITH music! Children can develop the ability to sing in tune and keep an accurate beat most easily during the birth-to-preschool years. However, they need a rich environment full of opportunities to explore and create musically with you, their most important musical model!

Not me! 😉😆😂🤣

Did you know…there are two “systems” involved with being a music-maker? Reception is related to thinking musically or hearing, sensing and processing the music we hear. Expression is related to the physical act of making music, or singing, moving, and producing music. We often remind families that when you enthusiastically sing, dance, and play music your little one is soaking up all of that fun music-making (reception) and will want to sing, move and play musically too (expression). Join us this fall and discover how much fun making Music Together® really is! Reserve your family’s space online. Stay tuned for our next FREE event at Fat Brain Toys in August! 🔗 www.TheMusicInMotion.com
