Toddlers Tempos Music Lessons

Children are in the developmental music aptitude stage from birth to approximately age 9 and in the stabilized music aptitude stage from age 9 on.  It is very important that a child receive the highest quality of guidance and instruction while in the developmental music aptitude stage.  Nature supplies a baby with many genes and synapses  in pregnancy and then immediately after birth.  If the baby's environment doesn't allow him or her to utilize these genes and synapses at an early developmental stage they are soon to be lost, never to be regained at the level that they could have been.  From Edwin E Gordon's "A Music Learning Theory for Newborns and Young Children."
