Learning by osmosis
As much as I want my kids to have some formal music instruction I've never had the resources to do it, but we do sing a lot, and listen to lots of music and talk about it. This morning, my mom, who has been visiting, put on something by Handel. My three year old listened for a little while and remarked, "This sounds like German music."

My favorite hymns in the Trinity are the German ones from the 16th and 17th centuries, but I hadn't realized how much John had picked up just from hearing us talk about what we love.
