  • BennyGreenberg, on 07/26/2008, -0/+7So "Gangsta Rap" is out? That is a great story!
  • BeShirtHappy, on 07/26/2008, -0/+5Music is very important to a child's education, imho. My son is 5 and he is the same way about the radio. When a song comes on he likes he says "turn it up mommy". He loves to sing and dance.

  • Jesus2007, on 07/26/2008, -0/+2Great article. There is hope.
  • spamdragon, on 07/26/2008, -0/+3When we are young we all love to sing and dance. Then comes that time when we become self conscious and begin to clam up. I'm so glad to hear that you are encouraging your sons to listen to commercial music and sing along with it. But I also hope that you will encourage them to learn how to play instruments and to compose their own unique music as well.

  • spetracco, on 07/27/2008, -0/+2My middle child's favorite song is "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. No Miley Cyrus for her! I love that she's picking up a variety of songs she likes from different genres. And I like that the author of this article considers music so important for her boys. Nicely written!
