Or it may be conscious listening --and there should be a balance between the two--to music which the mother herself carefully ang unobtrusively chooses to appeal to her children, For music appreciation doesn't just happen. It is not enough for a mother to want her children to enjoy music and to become musical. She must carefully plan ways to present music to them, And to do this, she herself should know something about music, If she does not, she may read, study and consult music educators as to the best approach. DON'T PRESENT AS TASK Music should never be pre- sented as a task to the child. Ap- preciation of it should grow upon him naturally as a reflection of his moods and his. developing emio- _tional capacity. * A wise mother will see to it that her young child © hears music which mirrors his per- sonal interest and experience. FORM OWN ORCHESTRA Mothexs should 'encourage as much as possible the child's active participation in music, This may take the form of singing at home, in school or in the church, danc- ing at home, or playing an instru- ment. Toy 'drums, toy bugled and toy flutes are all inexpensive ieee @NOUgh--for-any parent to afford. If there are several children, the mother may suggest the for- mation of a family orchestra, us- ing these little instruments. Some mothers have even found it well worth their time and effort to take ~ up the study of a major instru- ment, such as the piano, with ia children.
