Are you looking for a gift for a music loving kid? These games teach sightreading, composing, and pattern recognition. These are great supplements for students enrolled in piano, guitar, voice, ukulele, and drum lessons.
Compose Yourself ($14.99)
You don’t have to know how to write music or even own an instrument to be a world-class composer. Created by the ever-famous composer and cellist, Maestro Philip Sheppard, Compose Yourself teaches children as young as six to play with music. To create your own melody, arrange cards in a visual pattern, enter the codes with our music making software at ComposeYourself.ThinkFun.com, and hear your piece played by a full symphony orchestra at Abbey Roads Studios. Then flip, rotate, rearrange and even add more cards to create your very own masterpiece.
The Award Winning Symphony Blocks ($79.95)
These blocks can be rearranged to play a million different melodies, teaching children about music, shapes, and colors. A recipient of the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Blue Chip Classic Award, it consists of five blocks that can be placed in any order into the sturdy base. Each side of each block plays a different phrase of music when pressed, while hitting the big red button on the front runs through all five phrases in sequence. A flip of a switch changes the music from a classical, symphonic performance to swinging jazz to drum-filled African rhythms.
Simon Electronic Memory Game ($24.99)
Attempt to memorize and repeat the light and sound sequences. This helps students learn memorization, pattern recognition, and sequences.

The "right" age to begin piano lessons varies from child to child. A good first test is the age when your child can tie their shoes. Many four year olds can achieve great success with piano lessons. It's important for these early lessons to be based around fun, and plenty of off the piano activities and games. Below are the skills you can expect your 4-year-old to gain in their first few months of lessons.
1. Play Pre-Reading Songs - Begin teaching 4-year-olds with finger numbers. Books like WunderKeys, Faber Piano Adventures, and Alfred 1A Lesson Book, all have great pre-reading pieces. See more fun songs below.
Try These Resources: Hot Crossed Buns, Lizzy's Cat, Snail Snail, Wiggly Worm, Red Light, Green Light
2. Build Finger Dexterity - In the early days of piano lesson, 4-year-olds can gradually build finger strength with fun games and stories. Practicing separating each finger from the other will help build grace and confidence at the piano.
Try These Resources: Finger Play Poems, Fun With Frogs: Fingers and Frogs
3. Identify Notes and Patterns - Start teaching notes by identifying the patterns of black keys on the piano (try using Seeing Black Key Patterns). Then slowly introduce one note at a time.
Try These Resources: Seeing Black Key Patterns, Introducing the Animals
4. Learn Rhythmic Patterns - I love using the stick rhythm method to teach young students. This technique uses words for each rhythm instead of numbers. This is particularly helpful for children who haven't yet learned math.
Try These Resources: Blue Jello Cards, Rhythm Pizza, Miss Frog's First Rhythms, Rhythm Hunt
5. Improvise - I love to start the first lesson with young students by playing an Eb blues scale, and encouraging them to improvise by only playing black keys.
Try These Resources: I've Got The Blues Improv Activity, The Snowflake Technique
6. Compose - 4-year-olds can start composing at their first lesson. Encourage your student to start by using only two notes and write the pattern on one of the composing templates below.

Jammin' With You is proud to now be offering voice lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, and flute lessons in the towns of Norwell, Cohasset, Weymouth, and Hingham in South Shore. JWY! has an all star list of new South Shore teachers, and it's time to introduce them. This week we get to know vocal teacher Allyson Lynch!
JWY!: How did you get started in music?
AL: I’ve been singing my whole life. My mom jokes that I learned to sing before I learned to talk. Growing up I was involved in music class and drama club, and got hardcore into it in high school. My South Shore
highschool had an amazing music program and that's where I decided I wanted to go to music school. I went to college at the Hartt School of Music, where I studied classical voice.
JWY!: What is your favorite show that you've been a part of?
AL: One of my favorite shows was when I played Jo March in Little Women. It's a powerful part, and was very meaningful to me at the point in my life when I played the part. I talk more about this role in my article How Theater Changed My Life.
JWY!: Can you talk more about being a "crossover singer"? 
AL: I started out as musical theater singing, using very belting singing. As my voice matured and I sang more in chorus, I realized how much easier it was on my voice to sing classically. In my senior year of high school, I changed mind to study classical voice. Because I am still a young singer, the majority of professional work has been musical theater. As I get older I will take on more classical singing roles.
Having experience with musical theater and classical singing is very helpful in relating to my students. It has helped me connect with students, and find path to using excellent classical technique technique and applying it to popular styles.
JWY!: How do you approach vocal lessons with beginners?.jpg?width=259&name=1546347_10203084461974505_276062036_n%20(1).jpg)
AL: Many of my students are young singers under the age of 13. When I have a new singer, I ask a lot of questions, to figure out where they are and what their goals are. We study the difference between everyday breathing and low full breathing, body and vocal warm-ups, basic ear training, and solfege. As students advance, I introduce more complex warm-ups and difficult repertoire.
My lesson approach sets students up to be good auditioners. Many of my high school students are involved in multiple auditions throughout the year, and I want them be as successful as they can in every aspect of auditioning.
JWY!: What made you want to become a teacher?
AL: I was a performance major in college, I got engaged senior year of college, and my very first job was a teaching job 4-7 yr olds. I love working with singers individually on their voices and helping them get where the want to be and learns songs they love. Teaching has been the most amazing experience to connect students one on on and help them to reach their goals.

Jammin' With You is proud to now be offering music lessons in the towns of Norwell, Cohasset, Weymouth, and Hingham in South Shore. JWY! has an all star list of new South Shore teachers, and it's time to introduce them. First up - Brian Mullen!!
JWY!: How did you learn to play drums?
BM: Before formal training, I was self-taught by imitating what was being played on the radio. In high school I participated in concert band, jazz band, marching band in my high school. I got into Berklee College of Music and began formal instruction. Being a self-taught drummer has given me helpful insight into understanding my students. I aim to get students playing grooves to songs they love as soon as we can, and build in reading, theory and technique as we go along.
JWY!: What was it like being a professional musician in Nashville for 10 years? 
BM: It was a great experience! When I first arrived in Nashville I began establishing myself as a drummer by playing Downtown Broadway. I played a wide range of music and bounced around every honky tonk in the area.
After networking with other artists in the area, I started to do session work. I worked at studios all around Nashville and recorded with many artists, some of whom were featured on MTV, CMT as well as shows like “American Idol”, “The Voice” and “Good Morning America”. I also began touring with several different groups. I only have 5 more states to go until I've toured in all 50 states. Living on a bus, and out of a suitcase is not always all it's cracked up to be. But it's all worth it to get that rush, playing in front of 5,000 people and seeing everyone moving and grooving. No matter what the audience size, performing is a lot of fun and I would like to help other people to experience it.
JWY!: When teaching a drum lesson, what are the first things you teach your students? 
BM: I like to find a song a student loves and break it into pieces. We learn a few rudiments, and techniques, and start playing different pieces of the groove. Before long, the student is able to play grooves along to full songs.
What did you want to become a music teacher?
BM: I've been on the road for a long time and want to share my love for music with younger musicians, and spend more time with my wife and two year old son. I believe learning music is energizing and therapeutic. Music has brought such joy to my life, and I want to share it with my students.

I often get asked, "can my child learn to play an instrument if I don't know anything about music?" The answer is yes! You don't have to be an expert on an instrument to help your child, that's why they have a teacher. There are many ways you can still help your child develop good practice habits. View the tips below to help maximize your child's practice experience.
- Sit in on the Lesson - By observing the lesson you get all the same information as your child does. Even if you're not physically performing on the instrument you can often help explain or remind them what was taught in the lesson. Observing lessons can be especially helpful in the beginning when your child is still familiarizing themselves with the instrument.
- Take a Look at the Book - Most beginning music books have very helpful instructions that go along with each song. Often times they will have specific diagrams for each song that show where
to put your fingers.
- Help with Practice Habits - You don't have to know how to be able to play the songs on their instrument to help your child develop good practice habits. You can help them find a good time of day to practice in a quiet space, and help organize their activities to accommodate this practice time. The less variety there is in the time of day and location your child practices, the more energy can go into it. You can also help your child by reminding them to spend special attention on challenging parts of a song and organize a list of things they will work on in thier practice session (i.e warm-ups, scales, new song, etc.). For more tips on good practice habits click here.
- Write Down Questions - If you or your child have questions throughout the week, be sure to write them down so you can clarify with your teacher. Most teachers are also available to answer questions over email or phone during the week.
- Listen to CD's of the Songs - Many lesson books will provide a CD in the back where you can hear the songs, and also provide accompaniment tracks (some books have two versions, one with the CD and one without so be sure to get the one with the CD). With higher level songs you can often find recordings of them performed in professional settings. Not only does this help you familiarize yourself with how the song is supposed to sound, but will also help inspire your child when they hear it performed professionally.
- Familiarize Yourself With Basic Theory - This doesn't mean you need to master the ins-and-outs of the instrument. Simply learning the notes on the piano, a few simple chords on the guitar or ukulele, or the basic rhythms for drums can be a huge help. Having this knowledge will help you guide your child in figuring out the music on their own.

Kids Music- Top 10 Cutest Songs Ever
Here are some of the cutest kids songs I have heard! In no particular order.
Bear to the Left - Billy Jonas
A very clever song about using animal names to give directions. It’s a very easy song to sing together and my students love it. This would be a great song to learn as a family and sing together all you need is a leader to remember the words. This song will surely be a family favorite to “Horse Around” with!
Billy Jonas: http://www.billyjonas.com/
All I Really Need - Raffi
Such a beautiful song about the basics that we need in our life, “song in my heart, food in my belly, and love in my family.” Sometimes we get caught up in what we “need”.“Mom, I need that new toy”, “I really need a vacation” , “I really need, a new car” but this song reminds us that we really need love, music and food to survive. I think this is a great song to sing together as a family.
Raffi Singing on Broadway! Who knew Raffi was on Broadway?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhoTY0D77xQ
Red Red Robin - Rosie Flores
Red Red Robin is an older song, but Roise Flores puts a country, rockabilly feel to it. It makes this song upbeat and fun! I love the mix of the guitar and her vocals. I found this song off of the album Sing Along With Putumayo. Rosie Flores is a fantastic artist and her new album “Girl of the Century” is worth a look!

Be Kind To Your Parents - Pete Seeger
So the first line may not seem so cute to parents “Be kind to your parents, though they don’t deserve it...” but this song is very cute. This song helps children remember parents once were kids too! I had a student sing this at this years SuperJam and it went over very well with our audience. I really enjoy the last line, “Someday you may wake up and find your a parent too!”
Pete Seeger-http://www.last.fm/music/Pete+Seeger/_/Be+Kind+to+Your+Parents
Sunny Side of the Street - Fox and Branch
“Grab your coat and grab your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep now, direct your feet to the sunny side of the street” What a positive message this old classic song sings! Fox and Branch give it a fun groove using such instruments as the washboard, spoons and a kazoo. This song makes me smile everytime!
Smile Smile Smile - Dan Zanes
Speaking of smiling... “Every time I think of you I smile for a while, that’s the one thing you always do is smile smile smile” What a great message to any family member or friend. “Your big heart circles the world every time you smile!” This song fills your head of fun and crazy things we do together like singing broadway songs and passing the baton as we run. Another song that just makes my heart grow every time I hear it!
Smile, Smile,Smile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9RXgP1nAk8 SO CUTE
Belly Button Song - Music For AArdvarks & Other Mammals
How fun is this guys voice as he is singing about Belly Buttons! Enough Said!
Music for Aardvarks: http://www.musicforaardvarks.com/

Originally written by Cat Stevens, this version is a bit more upbeat and still sings the positivity of the original. The vocals are clear and harmonize lovely together. This is the first track on their album Racky Tacky which also has alot of other great tunes!
I Will Be Your Friend- Guy Davis
Very cute friendship song! This song is all about taking care of one another and reminding each other of our love. What a great message for anyone at any age.
Make sure to send this to the friend that takes care of you.
Sunflower - Flooky & the Beans
Local Boston kids band Flooky & the Beans has many great songs, and their shows are great fun for all! This one is about beautiful Sunflowers. It is a very soothing song. The harmonies that the band really helps you enjoy the lyrics. “Add a little sunshine, grow so high, add a little rain, grow so high, add a little food, grow so high, add a little love, grow so high” Oh and that is Josh Shriber, our Director singing! Go Josh!
Flooky
