Music is has always been a big part of my life. Some of my happiest childhood memories are of my mom and I dancing around the house with the music cranked up or cuddling and drawing together with beautiful instrumental music playing softly in the background. Music can carry me away in the depths of emotion more than words. Enjoy these wonderful books to inspire music appreciation in your family.
If you’re studying music appreciation in your homeschool curriculum or just want to inspire a deep love of music in the lives of your children, these are a few fun books about music for kids. Some are about historical musicians or books written with a musical rhythm. The more rhythms, rhymes, and poems read, your children will grow a greater appreciation for musical rhythms. This is also great brain food for mathematical thinking! Inspire music, encourage learning an instrument, and your child may have an easier time with math concepts. Enjoy these music appreciation reads together.
