Kids and Classical Music

Classical music is not very much spread among young children nowadays. It is one of those types of music that calm the mind and soften the spirit. It is important for every child to get acquainted with such kind of music. Here are some tips given by Hannah Boyd to help parents and educators get the children into classical music:


- Appreciate the music yourself, listen to it frequently
- Try playing some classical instruments (piano, violin…) or even take singing lessons
- Learn about classical composers and share your knowledge with kids
- Watch live/ recorded performances for kids (such as Disney movies) that enhance the ear for classical music
