Music is often an intrinsic part of family life with small children. Most parents (whether musically trained or not) would probably agree that music is an important part of young children's development, and that the benefits of music reach far and wide into all aspects of their lives.
So, it's no surprise perhaps that when families with young children congregate, music and singing tend to happen. Whether that's a five-minute singsong at the end of a toddler group in the local church hall, a ‘rhyme time’ session at the local library, or the franchise running groups in your local town, singing and music-making with parents or carers and infants is often a strong part of our culture around early childhood.
