Review # 1 was written on 2021-04-04 00:00:00 Dena Saisa I have four children (ages 6-16)whom I am trying to raise as musical children. This is one of the most practical, inspiring books I have read about children and music. At the end of each chapter, there is a bullet list of how to make that chapter work for you with very useful, reasonable ideas. I enjoyed his list of benefits of music: perseverance, confidence, responsibility, identity and self-esteem, discipline, a love of music, art, culture, and history, teamwork, identification of talent, using time wisely, following directions, precision and motor control, overcoming fears in public speaking and service, intellectual and social development, commitment to excellence, creativity and self-expression, spiritual nurturing. The author, Patrick Kavanaugh, spends time in the first chapter on each of these topics.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-01-02 00:00:00 Dustin Abolafia Great read for deciding on an instrument, choosing a teacher, and how to handle wanting to quit but not enough ideas for building a love for music outside of playing an instrument.
