How to Start Children on Music at an Early Age

Sally Kohn: I've often wondered about the idea of starting children on music at an early age. It seems that unless a child expresses an interest in music, there's a whole lot of work that parents have to do," she says. "There are certainly some child prodigies who for whatever reason, they pick up an instrument and they make rapid progress even at a very young age" But if we look at music study beyond just simply wanting to help children develop musicality, it also helps their fine motor skills - which is another sideline benefit.
