An expert in teaching creative children and helping parents understand their creative child, Catherine coaches parents, and works with students of all ages, teaching music and the piano, along with several other instruments. Creative people see the world and every aspect of the world differently from other people. As children we don't know we are doing that. Unfortunately parents think that their child is just being difficult. It wasn't until Catherine was in her 40s that she realized she WAS creative and that that was why she never really 'fit' in with what everyone else was saying or thinking or feeling. Since then she has been taking her experiences and helping others to understand what they are going through.

For Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

Music helps with self esteem and self discipline as well as school subjects.
Listen to music with your child everyday.

Music is sometimes loud and sometimes soft.

Talk to your child about what makes loud sounds and what makes soft sounds. Ask your child to find people, animals, and items and tell you whether they make loud or soft sounds. For instance: A baby asleep is quiet, so that is a soft sound because you are just hearing their quiet breathing. Drums beating in a parade make a loud noise. Play a CD and show your child the difference between loud and soft. In your daily activities, talk about whether they are loud or soft activities. Have your preschooler draw pictures and tell you whether they draw a picture of something loud or soft.

If you have a question you would like me to answer about learning music please email me at Catherines.Music.Notes@gmail.com or Music.By.Catherine@gmail.com
