Magic of Music with Your Child

Running Time: 6 min 30 sec.

What is the "Mozart Effect?" Will it maker your child smarter? Why is singing to your child a good idea? Should you get your child rhythm instruments? Is purchasing an age appropriate CD player helpful?

Hands-on Parenting host, Barb Hazelton, visits with the author of Good Music, Brighter Children, Sharlene Habermeyer, who feels music can positively affect your child socially, intellectually, physically, and emotionally.

Ms. Hazelton and Ms. Habermeyer together explore the value of singing to your baby, providing children with rhythm instruments, and playing marching music as your child gets ready for the day.
