Quite often, the music my children want to listen to is not the same that I would choose if I actually had a say in the matter. However, since I know my children learn from music, they love it, and it keeps them happy while traveling in the car (which is, of course, the most important reason!), we end up listening to the music they want to hear. This often results in some annoying little tune stuck in my head for the next three days.
Recently, however, we discovered a musical artist that children love, and adults will not mind listening to. I wouldn’t say adults would choose the music if the kids weren’t in the car, but it is much more fun than any of the other alternatives I have found. I don’t even mind when the songs replay in my head for the rest of the day.
My children received The Best of the Laurie Berkner Band CD for their birthday. I had requested it after listening to a couple of her songs online. It is easy to understand why she is so popular. Her songs are creative, intriguing, and downright fun. The themes are ones kids can relate too. My children love moving and grooving to the exciting beats, and I even find myself singing the songs when they are sitting quietly in the back.

There is probably a longer list stored in your memory fr

If you speak Italian or if you were a music major, then you would know that the words “da capo” mean to repeat “from the beginning”. In music, the words are used to tell the musician that either a part of or the entire score of music is to be played again. Although your child probably cannot read music at this young age, the concept can still be applied to help your child

Most adults are at least vaguely familiar with the song “Flight of the Bumblebee”. Children also enjoy this particular piece of music because it is so fast. It makes you want to get up and move, which is exactly what you want them to do.

At times you may feel as though your child isn’t listening to a word you are saying. It is though you are talking to a wall. You know that she can hear you, but it seems like your words are bouncing back instead of being absorbed. Some people may call this selective listening. Luckily, there are many things you can do to help your child actively listen.
