72: Share Music You Love With Susan Darrow

What you music do you share with your child? Listen in as the CEO of Music Together shares the benefits of sharing music early on. Music has always been an important part of my life as a child parent and educator. Today’s conversation centers on how we can best introduce music to our children as well as all the benefits it provides to their developing brains. What We Talked About: The natural flow of the Montessori music curriculum The positive impact music has on early childhood development & parenting Why it is important to share the music you love with your children How to incorporate music into your daily family life How to use music to get through some parenting challenges Things to Remember: “Parenting trends change, child development doesn’t.” “The most important music to play for your child is the music you love as a parent.” “Music has superpowers for babies' brains.” “No matter how badly you think you sing, you have the most beautiful singing voice in the world to your child.” “Being a musician doesn’t mean playing an instrument. Being a musician means playing your primary instrument which is your voice.” -Susan Darrow “There should be music in the child's environment, just as there does exist in the child's environment spoken speech. In the social environment the child should be considered and music should be provided.” - Dr. Maria Montessori   Click here for Show Notes and more from Jeanne-Marie, Your Parenting Mentor
