The best way to encourage kids to begin to play music is to include it in a game. Even if your child has no musical background, they will begin to play simple songs immediately, without any knowledge of the music staff or symbols. Just stick the color stickers on the keys of your instrument and follow the pictures in the cards..
This percussion instrument develops not only a musical ear, but also gross and fine motor skills, and cognitive skills such as color recognition, matching, and patterns.
