'.... "what is the raised 4th of Db ?" ...

I can't think of a better method of motivating a 4 year old to immerse him or herself in the magic of music ...'

I haven't been working on intervals with the 4-year-old. The six-year-old got quite good at them. The 4- and 6-year-olds have been very interested in trying to play my trumpet the last couple of times and were both able to get sounds out of it. They also liked helping me clean it, especially taking it apart and putting it back together. I hope it lasts, but one doesn't always know how long they'll stay interested in a thing.

I've got the 8-year-old started playing a simple accompaniment on the piano from chord symbols and I think she was interested.
