Parenting Tip: Introduce Your Child to a Variety of Musical Styles

How?
  • Login to your Kindermusik @ Home account, and
    read the e-book ‘Gingerbread
    Boy    .’ 
    Enjoy the different ways each animal speaks, as they ask the Gingerbread
    Boy to go back to his home.   
  • Bedtime?  Cue up ‘Duermete, mi Niño,’
    and rock your child to sleep 🙂
  • Listen to your home CD and discover all of the
    musical variety in “Time for Lunch!”  Be sure to listen to Rise, Sugar, Rise
    (an American folksong), Sweet Potatoes (Jazz), Vegetable Soup (Rock-n-Roll
    for kids), and more.
