<li>Research has shown that babies prefer the sound of their parents voice, so go on and sing lullabies such as &#8220;Twinkle Twinkle Little Star&#8221; or any other song you prefer!</li>
<li>The rich sounds of a real orchestra are a delight to the ears and developing brains of children.  Choose authentic recordings, rather than synthesised music to optimise your listening experience.</li>
<li>You can use melodies of songs such a &#8220;here we go round the mulberry bush&#8221; and &#8220;this is the way we brush our teeth, have a bath, get ready for bed, eat our dinner&#8221; to turn care tasks uch as changing nappies or taking a bath into play time.</li>

<p>Integrate music into your daily life through these easy suggestions:</p>
<ul>
<li>Your favorite song can come in handy when trying soothe and settle your baby. Patting a rhythmic beat of your song on the baby&#8217;s back or nappy can help settle the baby. A natural beat or even rhythmic heartbeat pattern can do the trick.</li>
<li>Bath time, a nappy change or bedtime routines can be enhanced by singing and turning these times into play! Try using melodies that you already know, eg. &#8220;here we go round the mulberry bush&#8221; and change it to &#8220;this is the way we brush our teeth, have a bath, get ready for bed, eat our dinner&#8221;.</li>
<li>Be brave and sing whichever songs you may like to your baby; it could even be simple lullabies such as &#8220;Twinkle Twinkle Little Star&#8221; because research has demonstrated that babies and infants prefer the sound of their parents&#8217; voices.</li>
<li>An example of a game that encourages exciting action for toddlers is &#8220;open shut them&#8221; which when repeated often enough will empower the toddlers to perform these actions themselves.</li>
<li>Some famous nursery rhymes that will entertain your and your baby alike are &#8220;Humpty Dumpty&#8221; and &#8220;to market to market&#8221;. Babies love bouncing games on your lap and arms and other actions that go along with the songs.</li>
<li>Listening to music should start at birth when new mothers should consider joining the <a href="http://www.littlestarsmusic.com.au/bonding-with-baby-music-classes">Bonding with Baby</a> classes. Older children from six months to three years should join the <a href="http://www.littlestarsmusic.com.au/music-classes-for-babies-and-toddlers">Babies and Toddlers</a> music classes.
