You may think that toddlers are too young to learn independently, without their parents, but music lessons can be beneficial depending on each child's developmental stage and temperament.
The younger they are, the more challenging it becomes for them to concentrate for extended periods. Therefore, I approach the music in various ways, spending 5 to 10 minutes on each method.
Even though learning may be gradual, children can engage with music more easily and enjoyably if they are taught to play musical instruments at a young age, which helps to nurture their musical talent.
The piano is an instrument that requires extensive learning and practice. It demands both patience and effort. However, since anything that can produce sound can be considered a musical instrument, children create sounds and engage with the instrument during each lesson through crafting. Once we finish making the instruments, we also have the opportunity to enjoy music while playing together.
Since they cannot read or write yet, they learn about rhythm, melody, flow, dynamics, and tempo through drawings, coloring, stickers, stuffed animals, and movement. This course is recommended for children aged three and four who wish to be introduced to music.
