“Dr. Bader’s time, experience, and big heart were put into this book, and every page shows her love for music.
Coming from a musical background and being the father of four young children, this book has given me guidelines to teach my children the joy of having music in our lives. Dr. Bader has accomplished something wonderful by writing this book.”
Introducing your child to basic musical concepts early can have an amazing impact on their brain development and their future.
What’s even more amazing is that with only a little guidance, accomplishing this doesn’t have to be expensive or time consuming.
I teach parents and caregivers how to enhance their children’s early brain development through the introduction of musical concepts in ways that are accessible and enjoyable – even if they’ve never had a music lesson in their life!
In my book, Music for the Developing Brain: A Simple, At-Home Program, I provide 5-minute daily activities that you can enjoy with your 0-5 year old for up to 5 years. These lessons are short, fun, easy to build into your routine, and require minimal investment. (You’ll need only some index cards, a pencil and marker, internet access, and eventually a small, electronic piano keyboard.)
Over the course of the lessons you and your child will learn things like pitch, rhythm, tempo, keyboard hand placement, and more. You’ll set them up for success before they ever attend a formal music class.
You don’t have to be a music teacher of 35 years like I am to understand that learning musical concepts at a young age has huge benefits. You also don’t have to have any sort of musical background to provide those benefits to your child.
I’m passionate about sparking joy for people by making music a collaborative and fun experience.
Once during a family trip to Las Vegas, I was asked to give an impromptu performance at the Liberace Museum! I played both the concert grand piano covered in small, mirrored rectangles and the studio grand covered in Swarovski crystals.
Despite my being unprepared, the audience enjoyed it so much I was invited back!
So in honor of this ultimate performance opportunity, I composed a special piece to commemorate the occasion and to showcase the superbly responsive nature of his pianos.
It was truly an experience I’ll never forget.
I wrote Music for the Developing Brain to empower parents and caregivers with a framework to teach their children musical concepts that can enhance their brain development and introduce them to the joy of making music – no experience or huge price-tag required!
