How to Grow a Young Music Lover is the ideal guide for parents who want to boost their childrens education through music; parents who want to aid in their childrens cognitive, motor, and creative development; parents who love music and want their children to do the same; and parents who wish they knew more about music and want their children to have advantages and instruction they did not.
