Sometimes the best way to teach your child something is to learn more about it yourself.  If you are embarking on formal music education for your child, it would be prudent to learn more about how children learn, what music is best at which age, and setting reasonable expectations for their development of skill.

The following books are highly recommended, though don't forget to check out Little Amp's guide to developmental stages.

“Lullabies and Wildflowers” could just as easily be found in the “Easy Listening” section of a music store as it can in the Children’s Music section. That’s because Melissa Errico, like Mae Robertson, has a voice that’s seems just as fit for covering standards as it is to sing kids to sleep. She gracefully infuses jazz with pop, all under the deft guise of a children’s lullaby. Her soulful, smooth vocals on such classics as “Rockabye Baby” will have you so engaged with the music that you’ll forget the ironic lyrics that some baby’s going to fall out of a tree in their cradle.
