Drums and Tambourines
Percussion instruments are perfect for introducing your child to music, according to Sara Wilford, director of the Early Childhood Center at Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, NY. "They're easy to play, so even young kids can learn about rhythm and sound," she says. Boost your child's musical skills by having him tap out his favorite tunes or play along with recorded music.
