Even in the womb, the baby experiences rhythms, musical dynamics, and melodies through the mother's heartbeat, her voice, and the sounds of the outside world. How do musical experiences and hearing abilities develop in a child? How do early rhythms shape us? How does musical experience influence personality development? The author explains to parents the most exciting research findings on musical experiences from pregnancy to early childhood. For each developmental phase, he provides suggestions on how to playfully accompany, challenge, and stimulate children with music: through shared rituals, singing, rhythm, and movement games. In doing so, parents learn one important thing: to listen closely and resonate with their child's individual rhythm.
