• From a very young age, children respond to music. Watch their reactions as they respond to different musical styles.
• When you want to create a quiet, relaxed mood just before nap or bed time, put on a lullaby CD/cassette or other easy listening music.
• Expose your child to a variety of musical styles by turning on the radio and dancing or moving to the music on a particular station. Every few minutes, change the station and move to that music.

• Experiment with listening to a variety of musical styles, played as background music, to create a desired mood for different situations (e.g. quiet time, playtime...).
• For art time, choose a particular style of music and see if it affects the types of drawings done by the children (quiet music vs. more upbeat).
• For a free movement exercise, experiment with different styles of music and see how the children respond.
