I have a 2-year-old son. When his mother's not around we listen to AC/DC, Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Live, Metallica, Pearl Jam and others of similar genre and era.
When I sit down at the computer he runs in repeating, "guitar, guitar, guitar". When I ask him who is the best guitarist, he's conditioned to answer "Angus".
I'm seriously hoping to influence his musical tastes, because when he turns teenager, I don't want to be stuck listening to crap.
- hellameta 10y agoYou should get some musical instruments in the home if you don't already. This goes a long way!
- phillc73 10y agoWe do have lots of musical books, where you push the spot on the page and usually an animal plays some instrument. At the moment, we feel he is a little too small at 2 for his own instruments, as they will be destroyed in pretty short order. They're high on the list of things to obtain when he's just a little more careful with things.
- abakker 10y agoa small toy keyboard would be a good bet. They're nearly indestructible and cheap. definitely worth it.
- blacksmith_tb 10y agoDrums can take a fair amount of abuse (within reason - better than stringed instruments, for example)... though you may not enjoy his early jam sessions. I gave my son a set of tuned handbells when he was 2, they were a hit, and hard to break.
- tinco 10y agoYou do realize that when he turns teenager he will rebel, and only listen to K-Pop right? Then at 20 in college he'll learn to develop a musical taste less attached to social stigma, and maybe reacquaint himself with rock. But perhaps also because of his teenage musical roots the rock will be mostly K-rock ;)
