What a mother says in one day

What a mother says in one day, but condensed into a 3 minute song, to the tune of the William Tell Overture. (Well, the last part of the William Tell Overture.)



Thanks to AMEB for reminding us of this fun video. (The video quality is poor, but if you watch it on Youtube, you will also get a copy of the amusing lyrics.)

Did you know that today is Rossini's 53rd birthday? You'd think he would be older, but the poor chap was born on 29th February ...

Encouraging your beginning musician

Cynthia Richards' advice is great for parents of primary school children, but most of it would not apply to toddlers. Four of her suggestions would be equally applicable to beginners, though:

1. Start early
2. Enjoy your children's music
3. Praise them for their successes
4. Focus your efforts on getting your child hooked on music.
