Draw What You Hear!
Q: You've never studied a musical instrument. You're afraid you might even be "tone deaf!" What could you possibly do to build your child's interest in music?
A) Throw your hands up in desperation, and just hope someone else in your child's life is able to spark an interest in music. Don't risk making a fool of yourself!
OR
B) The next time you give your child construction paper and some crayons, put on some music and simply say, "Draw What You Hear!" Be surprised and delighted by the results.
If you answered "B," you are a Positive Parent!
Rubi Lichauco, mother of two, did just that, at her daughter's fifth birthday party. That day, with Rubi's guidance, a group of young children and their parents discovered a fun and educational activity they can all easily do. Everyone left the party with strains of music by Rimsky-Korsakov, Gershwin and Saint-Saëns, dancing through their heads.
