The First Step in Music

My sister is crazy about music – she likes singing and is ready to listen to classic music every day. She has a baby now and she concerns of his abilities towards music. We have the piano at home but it is not quite enough to make the child play and love music. Be sure to think about this phenomenon when the baby in your tummy. Then he/she is listening music everywhere around him – it may be a kind of rattle, zigger-zagger, wind or thunder noise, etc. And one day mom suddenly notices his interest to music – she is really excited – her dream started to become true. My sister invites a teacher of music and follows his recommendations. Everything may be done at home – pour water into a glass, knock at the door, bounce the ball against the wall or floor and then invent many other noise around the child. Children can hear the way you are talking with your husband, your friend, mother, neighbor – your tone is always changed – it depends… The teacher told much about the development of the child’s fingers. It may be achieved with the help of playdough, rubber or some movements with his fingers. The fingers should be plastic and relaxed. The teacher recommends listening good music without extra noise to distinguish sounds and melody. My sister do her best to teach her son play the piano – she spends lots of time inventing various sounds of music – she sings with him, dance with him and run with him clapping hands and kicking the ball. She is preparing him for the first lesson when he will have to play the piano making music from simple notes and signs.
