Congratulations! You've enrolled in an early childhood music class! What a significant choice you have made for your child and your family. The songs you sing, the games you play, the stories you tell together not only affect the dynamic of your family, but in the end, affect how culture is transmitted. The parent/child bond is essential, and its influence can not be underestimated. The games, songs, stories you share with your child create deep, emotional ties that are indelibly etched upon their minds and hearts. As adults, it will be those songs, stories, etc. that bubble up when they play with their own children. What songs will they sing? What stories will they tell? What lullabies will send their children to sleep?
Listen to what Roger H. Brown, president of Berklee School of Music (alma mater of contemporary musicians such as Quincy Jones, Branford Marsalis, Diana Krall and John Mayer) says about Music, Culture and Early Childhood Development:
