Both of our children grew up with music being played in our home almost all the time..Our youngest Gabriel would call down stairs "Daddy play the music..I can't sleep.. at about age 3." Both kids are still envolved with music..our daughter a dancer, and teacher finds music very usefull in her classroom...she workes with special needs children who tend to be high strung.. she playes music every afternoon to calm things down..Gabriel is now a musician..KGH
