Publisher's Synopsis
Being your child's musical role model may be more mindful than ever before. But why do parents shy away from music, when it is well-documented that music has a permanent, positive influence upon not only cognitive brain function, but self-esteem and family relationships? Most often, this is because parents are not familiar enough with music to feel comfortable in this role. Many non-musical parents wish they could be a musical role model for their children. This book is designed to give all parents, regardless of musical background, the information they need to understand the importance of music in brain development, and an avenue in which to easily role model music that is stress-free, fun and tunes into positive parenting. When parents role model music with their children, the family dynamic is enhanced, relationships grow, cognition sharpens, horizons broaden and children are just plain-old happy.
