Learning to Play Musical Instruments

Children learn by doing and watching. Even when she was just born my husband play clarinet to our daughter. When she can started walking we have to put the clarinet where she can't reach it since my husband has it since he was a kid. Then when she turn two we though of buying her a  recorder so she can play with it while her daddy plays the clarinet. At first she was not able to blow enough air on it then one day she just learn how to use the recorder, granted there is no particular tune but it sounds good to our ears.


Same thing happened with her harmonica. Her daddy has a harmonica so he bought her a harmonica for a day or two she's just moving one end to another across her lips maybe because she watched her daddy moving his harmonica from left to right and back when he plays. One evening she just learn how to use her harmonica . She actually sat on our bed and keep playing for a bit beside her daddy but he was already asleep and he sleep soundly.The sound she produce are kind of faint too. At first I can hear some air in between the notes but she gets better as she keep playing with it. The next day my husband can't just believe it when he heard her playing, but she kept playing almost the whole day so by the time he got home she sounds a lot better.
