Really Terrific Tunes For Kids

So, If remembering words over a long period of time could be considered education, then I guess music is an amazing tool. What about music from other cultures and different languages. Why not give a listed to a little greek radio ( ελληνικό ραδιόφωνο ) and find out for yourself. I suspect it will work pretty well, and you may even educate your self in some Greek language speaking skills. I know I learned a few french words from a certain disco song that Patti Labelle made famous a few years ago. You can get greek online radio ( ελληνικό online ραδιόφωνο ) right in your web browser these days. All you need is a computer and the internet.

Once they turn at least five years of age, and have the physical control to start learning an instrument, then I think they should start. It depends on the instrument to some degree as well. Our kids had a piano instructor, that wouldn't start teaching piano to children until they were at least seven years old. She thought that prior to that, their fingers simply weren't big enough to play all the keys. Speaking of pianos, you may be wondering what brand to get for your kids. Well, it doesn't have to be the best of the best, like James Bond's brand of watches. We had just an old piano that my father bought years ago. I think he traded in his De Ville Co-Axial replica on it when he was younger. Not a bad decision in hindsight, considering all the use we've gotten out of the piano. Friends of ours also bought just a regular Yamaha electric piano when their kids started playing. Personally I'm glad to have had all the music lessons I did as a kid. And I never had to sell my replica Omega for a pair of drumsticks to get started.

I really do believe that makes a lot of sense.  Kids who don’t learn to either appreciate music, or learn a musical instrument are at a big disadvantage when it comes to the real world.  And no, I’m not just talking about those kids who envision themselves making a career out of the music business.  [...]

What’s the best instrument for your children to learn how to play?  There are so many choices for kids today it seems in regards to activities, sports, clubs, and music lessons, that it may be hard to choose the right one for them.  While, I believe that it’s important for children to learn music for [...]

I remember there being kids books that you could buy, and the big deal was, that you could have the text personalized to fit a specific person.  It was all computer generated, and what you had to do was to supply a childs name, their siblings names, their parents names, their grandparents names, and a [...]

I know my life as been considerably enhanced because of the gift of music that I was given by my parents. My father was the director of a drum corp, which was always a busy activity that brought countless musicians, artists, and arrangers through our home for many years. Myself and all my brothers greatly benefited from that musical influence, and even in our later years continued to fall back on our musical skills to enhance and contribute to our daily lives. Sure you can get healthy in other ways by buying sports nutrition supplements like Maximuscle Promax Diet and PhD Pharma Blend that when used judiciously will contribute to your healthy well being. But, I believe that diversity is key to overall health.

Anyone whose been a parent, or possibly even a child probably knows about the struggle it can be to get a kid to practice their musical instruments. I also know, I’ve heard a number of stories about adults who have been incredibly successful in life because of the music or piano lessons they took [...]

While picking out your favorite CDs for kids, your going to find hundreds to choose from.  Which believe it or not is a good thing.  The one thing I’ve noticed about kids music, is it so hard to find songs that are liked by both children and parents alike.  I mean, let’s face it, if [...]

Growing up as a child surrounded by music, I can adamantly state that I’m a very different person today because of that music.  I was the son of a drummer, the son of a drum corp director, the son of an aspiring piano player, the son of an aspiring trumpeter, and the son of a [...]
