He hasn't stop with the harmonica yet. And he's pretty good at it!

Great Wooden Music Set!

8-5-2008 - by Molly from ,

While I purchased this for my daughter a little prematurely, she loves it. I gave it to her when she was about 8 months old and she loved being helped to play the xylophone. She's still teething and I was afraid she would ruin it (like everything else within hand's reach) but this has actually stood up amazingly well to her strong jaws! Now, at nearly 12 months, she plays it on her own and is so proud of making music! In addition to be fairly durable it plays at a delightful pitch that is not at all annoying to listen to and it encourages actual music making. I'm glad that I bought this set!

Multiple Intelligences

Our toy experts have indicated that the Beginner Band Set strengthens the following Intelligences:

Musical

Children with strong Musical intelligence have great sensitivity to the rhythm of sounds (e.g. pitch, timbre, composition). Students strong in this intelligence will enjoy listening to music and may ultimately work as singers, songwriters, composers, or even music teachers.

Bodily-Kinesthetic

Children with strong Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence gravitate towards athletics; however, they also may use their bodies to solve problems, or convey ideas and emotions. Students with BK intelligence will be good at physical activities, have good hand-eye coordination and may have a tendency to move around a lot while expressing themselves.
