Loved by Parents. Backed by Experience.

  • Music for the Developing Brain makes the science of brain development affordable and practical to parents, teachers, and caregivers. Dr. Bader takes complex research in neuroscience and translates it into everyday, joyful activities; her program incorporates music as part of natural parenting, teaching, and learning together with young children. Please read her introduction—you’ll be fascinated and want to learn more.

    — Janet Watkins Jendron, Board President, Nurturings.org

  • As an educator of elementary school children for over a quarter of a century with no music education or training, I found this book engaging, clear to understand, and easy to implement. I highly recommend this asset for classroom teachers and homeschooling parents who want to enrich their curriculum with sound musical principles.

    — Mary Ann Wheeler, MEd in Administration and Supervision, Former Principal

  • Dr. Bader provides an engaging approach to fostering musical growth as a comfortable and natural part of a child’s development...This accessible book allows parents to support their children and learn alongside them with step-by-step guidance. Parents who may already be engaging in similar activities with their babies and toddlers can learn how being more intentional in their musical/rhythmic playtime can reap lasting benefits while helping to form warm parent-child relationships.

    — Deborah A. Ruth, BM, NCTM, Owner & Instructor of Ruth Piano Studio in Lexington, South Carolina

  • A highly practical guide to helping children connect with vital aspects of music and music-making in a natural and fun way. Sound pedagogical principles relating to sequential learning—as well as to such fundamental musical concepts as pitch and rhythm—lay important groundwork for future study. This is an invaluable resource for all who are interested in nurturing their child’s innate propensity toward music comprehension and enjoyment.

    — Stephen Taylor, DMA, Former Music Department Chair of the South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities

  • Dr. Bader has created an engaging and valuable tool for parents to enhance their young child’s brain development through music. And no music background is necessary to use this excellent resource.

    — Laury Christie, MM, Distinguished Emerita Professor of Music, University of South Carolina
