First we heard about the Mozart Effect -- that simply listening to Mozart triggered temporary increases in spatial intelligence.
Well, here is more music for parents' ears: After nine months of weekly training in piano or voice, research shows young students' IQs rose nearly three points more than their untrained peers, according to the study's author E. Glenn Schellenberg, of the University of Toronto, Canada.
So how young should you start? As early as possible, and a real-life miniature piano, such as the Alana Marie Petite Piano, offers kids a head start when it comes to their musical debut.
The piano is a good choice for a child's first instrument because the notes are there to be played, rather than created (think squeaky violin or farting trumpet).
And while you might rock on Guitar Hero, we still recommend professional lessons.

Learning to play music instrument is really hard especially to kids. They are having hard time learning to play music instrument. DVD store online can help in every music lessons because it has a wide selection of instructional dvds that can help an individual. There are also other way to learn how to play music and it is easy for them to do it since they are young.
Thanks for this post by the way.
