Parents ask me when they should
start exposing their children
00:00:06.70\00:00:10.14
to music and the
short answer is now.
00:00:10.17\00:00:12.81
As a parent, you are the
most significant force in your
00:00:12.84\00:00:16.01
child's development.
00:00:16.04\00:00:17.38
The songs you
sing to your newborn,
00:00:17.41\00:00:19.01
the background music
you play on the stereo,
00:00:19.05\00:00:21.25
and especially the music
you sing and play on instruments
00:00:21.28\00:00:24.22
combined to have the greatest
influence on your child's
00:00:24.25\00:00:27.79
musical understanding,
their tastes and their aptitude.
00:00:27.82\00:00:31.69
So whether your child is
five days old, five years old,
00:00:31.73\00:00:35.40
or 15, pick up an instrument,
sing a song or take them to the
00:00:35.43\00:00:39.27
symphony, you'll be
surprised how fun sharing music
00:00:39.30\00:00:42.40
together truly can be.
00:00:42.44\00:00:43.87
I'm Jennifer
LaMountain reminding you,
00:00:43.91\00:00:46.21
God has created each one
of us with a musical mind.
