maybe should let baby experience as many musical instruments before deciding? Yamaha has this class for kids 3 years onwards, where they are exposed to music and various musical instruments - it’s more play than serious learning. Kindermuzik also has classes for newborns. You’ll never know whether your baby likes learning music or any particular instrument. Some are born musically inclined, some are not. IMO, don’t force your kids to learn to play just because you were deprived of it when young – let them experiment. For all you know, they may want to play the drums, classical guitar (which is very nice), flute or may grow up to be a classical singer. I know coz I took piano lessons when young – not forced but I wanted to when I was 10 when I saw a musical performance in my school. But I stopped at Grade 5 – lazy lor. But hubby was forced by his parents to learn and he completed Grade 8. He grew to love it. He played for his church and has since learned to play by ear. At one stage he wanted to play jazz, which he said is more difficult to master. Hubby’s bro was forced but he dropped out coz the teacher was strict with him and scolded him for not practising – yes, needs to practise/play a lot. So you see, the most important is the child’s interest and passion. I’ll not be forcing my baby but hubby already has plans to let her take music/piano lessons. For all you know, she may turn out not liking music at all! Hahaha!
Oh ya, if your baby grows up to be musically inclined, it can be either really musically-inclined or good at maths – there’s a connection according to studies J
toys rental
I’m also interested to rent one but dunno whether my baby’s interest can be sustained. She has so many toys oredi! Oh, if any mommies looking for nice toys for baby, try Lamaze. Hubby bought this black-white spotted doggie and baby love it to bits. My guess must be the colour combo – babies like black, white, red at this stage, I read.
aiya! dun worry mommies. my baby also not that fast in developing her motor skills. but she excels in the voice dept - she's getting very loud! and also very kaypoh
