Turn Music Into Your Child’s Superpower

with Creative Parenting.

Build confidence, focus, and joy—without nagging or screens. Learn how to use music to support your child’s growth, even if you’re not musical.

Nurture Your Child’s Natural Love for Music

Every child is born with an inner rhythm and sense of melody—it's just waiting to be nurtured. With simple, joyful daily activities, you can help your little one explore the world of music, strengthen their brain development, and build a beautiful connection through sound—no musical background required.

The Hidden Struggles of Modern Parenting

You want to raise a confident, focused, and emotionally grounded child, but between screen fatigue, school stress, and social anxiety, it can feel like you're constantly falling behind.

The truth? It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing one thing differently.

Music isn’t just a creative outlet. It’s an effective tool for improving attention span, emotional regulation, and motivation. And you don’t need to be a musician to use it.

Music Is the Tool - Confidence, Focus, & Joy Are The Results

Helping parents turn everyday music moments into powerful lessons in growth is the basis of my work.

No nagging. No pressure. Just simple, joyful routines that support your child’s brain, body, and soul.

In just a few weeks, you’ll learn how to help your child:

  1. Build confidence through self-expression

  2. Strengthen focus and follow-through

  3. Develop emotional resilience and calm

  4. Improve memory, grades, and learning habits

  5. Enhance physical coordination and awareness through rhythm and movement

You don’t need a musical background. You just need the right guide.

Music for the Developing Brain teaches you how to nurture your toddler’s mind with musical concepts that last a lifetime—from exploring a keyboard to playful, proven techniques that make learning music fun.

Hi, I’m Dr. Jane Bader

You might be surprised to hear that I didn’t always plan to be a music teacher. My first career was in science—I worked in marine biology, ran tests in a blood bank in Alaska, and managed a medical lab after earning a degree in cell biology and medical technology certification.

But music kept calling me back. I eventually became an award-winning composer, earned a Master of Music and a Doctor of Musical Arts in piano pedagogy, and began teaching at the university level.

I wrote Music for the Developing Brain because I want to help parents like you share the gift of music with your children—right from the very beginning. It’s never too early to start nurturing their potential.
