Music Appreciation - Tips for Parents Who Want Musically-Inclined Children

You have a lot of dreams for your child when they first come into the world, but there is one thing you want them to have above all else: an appreciation for music. Perhaps music has filled a big role in your life or has been something that helped you become successful in the world. You know the power of music on life and you want to make sure your child feels that power as well.
Whatever your reasons may be for wanting your child to be musically-inclined, there are some things you can do from the day they are born to help them develop that appreciation and love for music.
Model Your Love of Music
You can be the role model that shows your child firsthand how enjoyable and powerful music can be in daily life. If you listen to a lot of music or even put headphones over your stomach while pregnant, your child will hear music before they even enter the world.
You can then follow this up by listening to a variety of music in the home after giving birth. The child will grow used to hearing your music around the house and will have a natural sense of it being normal and enjoyable.
You can also use different types of music in the home to help the child adjust to a normal daytime schedule. If there is a time of day that they tend to get sleepy you can play upbeat, happy music to pep them up until it is a more appropriate time to sleep. Very soft, soothing music can be combined with a dark, comforting environment to help them sleep when you want them to sleep.
Your enjoyment of music can rub off on your child and it is never too early or too late to start introducing it in your home.
Exposure to Music
The child should also have a lot of exposure to music on their own as well. They should be encouraged to explore different ways to make their own music and to identify music that they really enjoy as they get older. When children are given the freedom to really explore music and see what they like on their own they really develop that love of music in their own personal way.
The best way to do this is to sign them up for childhood musical programs that allow children of all ages to experience music with a hands-on approach. This will likely start out with parent participation in the classes while the child is a baby but they should eventually be able to go on their own and explore music in a more personal manner.
These classes are great for growing children because they expose them to a variety of instruments and allow them hear a wide variety of music types. They start to see what they really like. They start to respond emotionally to the music and make a deeper connection to the tunes.
Musically-inclined children need to be exposed to music on a routine basis, but they also need the freedom to get their own hands on instruments and learn to make music of their own. If you can give this type of exposure to your child they can develop the deep appreciation and love for music that you want them to have.

REVIEW: Biffy Clyro "Only Revolutions"

First impressions about this band entered my mind before I even had the chance to check out this disc. Is this a solo artist? Is it a strange name? What is a Biffy Clyro, exactly? The only thing I knew about this band before I heard the first note was that they were from Scotland and they won a Best Live Band award from New Music Express (NME). I have several friends who are really into british music and had suggested I take a listen to see if I might like it.
The opening track is "The Captain". Within the first four bars of the song, I'm hooked. Immediately, I ponder if this is what they listen to at soccer matches in Europe. The lyrics and chorus are very anthemic. There's a quality to this song that invites any and everyone to sing-a-long. There's a kaleidoscopic vibe going with the keyboards, some lush bass licks and the singer's voice is thick with all things Scottish.
So now, while I'm enjoying this song, it opens up an even bigger array of questions. How many people are in this band? Is the whole album as good as the opening track? How do these guys pull off this music live? Can they recreate this in a live environment? The NME award immediately gives these guys street credentials, so I know they can carry a tune to a crowd.
"That Golden Rule" is the next song and its much faster than the intro. The guitar work is rapid fire, yet gets quiet during the verses. When the entire band is going full steam, it's a thunderous engine roaring. The reason this band appeals to my musical tastes is because they are using interesting guitar patterns, thought provoking lyrics and they are very keen to mix up their instrumentation and layering.
To think that this band is able to emit these lush sounds as just a trio is staggering. I'm hearing a wide variety of influences from Rush to hints of Muse. The start and stop antics of the band really help create the moods as you dig further into this album. Foo Fighters tapped these guys to open up for them on their new tour and in typical Dave Grohl fashion, they hit a bullseye.
Biffy Clyro is a band that we're going to be hearing about in future years. They've been touring in support of this record for several years and are just now getting some much needed publicity in the States. They've toured here with Cage The Elephant and are now playing to thousands with Foo Fighters and Motorhead. Without major radio airplay, they have their work cut out for them. If this band is going to break in the United States without a major radio push, it would be easier to do this now more than ever.
This band is not a one-trick pony. They bring a lot to the table that most bands ignore. Their musicianship is stellar and the way they interact with each other and the audience helps them cut their own niche as a people's type of band. I enjoy this band and this record for the "underdog" quality of it. These are fantastic songs that I never would have heard had my friends not badgered me about it. This is a rock record, make no doubt about it. But, this just isn't a typical record. They treat their listeners with respect and challenge with non-traditional styles of songcrafting. These songs aren't your typical 4/4-in-the-box variety. They push the envelope and treat us as forward thinkers with this album. If you like a good rock record and are looking for something new, this is your album.
