Ladybug’s New Year’s Resolution? Making music everyday in 2012…

…and we hope your family will too!

This dad and daughter are incredible and I'm pretty sure they're making music everyday :)
 

 

Giving your children as many musical experiences as possible provides them with a base for building music literacy.  Here are a couple of easy ideas:

1) Do you have an old guitar or another instrument packed away in the garage?

Dust it off, tune it up and let your child pluck a string! Has your piano just become a piece of furniture? Lift up the cover and let your kid hit a few keys. Nothing beats experiencing instruments up close and hands on – who knows maybe you'll be inspired to plunk out a few notes too!

2)Ladybug has many songs that you can incorporate into your daily routines.

 A Ladybug dad told me he was using "Blob Fish" from the Ladybug Music Blue Collection for a bathtub song – blowing bubbles and a fun little dunk when "Blobby" plops! Another mom uses the melody of the "Ladybug Hello Song" to help her young child remember their phone number.

Is there one musical thing you do everyday with your family? Please let us know on our Ladybug Music Facebook Page because we'd love to share your ideas! Happy New Years!! Patricia
