Raising Musical Kids: Great Ideas to Help Your Child Develop a Love for Music

This is a truly amazing book. I've recommended it to many parents and future parents--musical or non-musical. The book lays things out like they are, giving practical advice to all parents, even if you don't have a clue about music. I wish this book was still in print today!

My children have taken music lessons for over 7 years now, yet I was able to learn a great deal from this book. It helps you all the way from deciding which instrument your child should play, how to find a good teacher, how to help your children practice, what to do when they want to quit, and even how to help them if they want a career in music. Most of all, Patrick Kavanaugh is concerned with helping children develop a true love for music in order to enrich their lives forever. To top that off, he comes from a truly biblical perspective and adds pertinent Scripture quotes for inspiration and guidance. Bravo!
