Music on the Love We playful CD was developed to bring happiness and fun into the lives of children and their parents. More than three years in research and development, this award-winning recording features fine music for listeners of all ages: music that is perceptually accessible to babies and young children-and music that parents will continue to enjoy over time. Experiences with playful songs are not just for fun-they are vital to healthy, well-rounded development. Songs that encourage moving and dancing, singing, playing instruments, tickling, laughing and imaginative play are integral to the music world of your baby and young child. Listening comes before speaking or singing in the first season of your child’s life. This happy recording is fun to listen to-and even more fun when used as a basis for play with your baby or toddler. Suggestions for interactive music play in this booklet show that much can be experienced before your baby or toddler is able to sing along! Gather the following for music playtime with your child: scarves, balls, hand puppets, a pinwheel, a baby-safe mirror, baby-safe musical instruments, bubbles, a couple of brightly colored pom-poms, a towel or blanket, a pie time or large box, an illustrated mother goose book, and a feather.

We will have some fun, oo-oo…it’s just began! With a happy, happy, happy song-hey, hey! With a happy…….happy song! When I clap to my baby, my baby claps back to me! When I dance to my baby, my baby dances back to me! When I sing to my baby, my baby sings back to me! Note： The best music experiences in early childhood are interactive-grounded in “reciprocity” between parents and child.
