Why Music for Young Children?
Music development begins before birth and the first few months and years of a child's life are vital in maximizing the child's musical potential. According to Edwin E. Gordon, a child's musical potential "is directly and greatly influenced by the music exposure, experience, and encouragement she receives from birth through age 9."
