It is true... we pour into our children what we ourselves are passionate about. And music blesses me so much, that I made sure the kids and I shared a morning of special music this week. The Minnesota Orchestra does some great concerts for children, and we went to our first one. I was armed with sweets and silent toys, if need be. My theory is, don't take out the needed props until absolutely necessary. It buys a little extra time. So the kids were content to sit for 45-60 minutes, while our ears savored beautiful orchestrations. I think we can never underestimate the profound, positive impact that quality music can have on young ears. I won't get all scientific or spew Mozart Effect data, but really. Little ears benefit from feasting on quality music!
