I read it myself and thought it contains content worth reading at least once for educators, not just those interested in music, so I am repurchasing it to give as a gift to an acquaintance.

It was a discussion about questions that any educator has likely pondered at least once. You explained the effects of music in an easy-to-understand way, as well as the concerns you faced when interacting with children. Ultimately, the challenges of providing holistic education and capturing each child's unique story resonated deeply with me through these real-life anecdotes. It makes me realize once again just how important community music is.

It reads well.

I'll enjoy reading this~^^

p.260 What would happen if there were no music in our lives...? Even without attending concerts, we can encounter countless melodies—short passages of classical, traditional Korean music, and pop songs—just like "air"—on TV, on the streets, in movies, on the subway, and in department stores. And while there may be children who dislike playing an instrument because they hate the practice process, there is likely no one who dislikes music itself. Because the times change so rapidly these days,

"Music Speaks to the Child"... that title was a phrase that made my heart flutter. I thought the subtitle, "Finding Hidden Emotions in Music to Raise a Child Who Grows on Their Own," was really well-chosen to spark curiosity. I assumed the author was someone with educational knowledge of music, but it turned out to be Professor Kim Dae-jin, a working professional who also teaches children. "When should one start teaching a musical instrument?" This was a concern I also had when my children were

I think I even listened to classical music when I was pregnant with my first child... I don't understand why music is so difficult for me. I do believe that exposing children to music helps them become emotionally stable, but having music playing constantly like background music is something I’m not used to. After giving birth to my youngest, one of my older sisters who came to visit asked if I wasn't playing music. Was our house too quiet? I picked up the book *Music Speaks to Children*

I picked up this book because the title caught my eye... but I was even more surprised to find out the author was Professor Kim Dae-jin. As one of the greatest pianists, I read it with great anticipation, wondering what he had written. As expected, it was a book that made me feel so much, and it covered general topics and methods for approaching music in an easy-to-understand way. Although I majored in music myself, I actually struggled with how to help my child feel comfortable with it. I was

Music Speaks to the Child Everyone is likely aware that music has a positive emotional and mental influence on both children and adults. This is because the beautiful melodies allow the listener's heart to resonate with them and enrich their sensibilities. However, this book, *Music Speaks to the Child*, contains invaluable advice on how to more effectively utilize these general positive effects of music. In the introduction, the author offers practical, expert advice regarding the questions

This book is written by Kim Dae-jin, the Principal Conductor of the Suwon Philharmonic Orchestra. I attended the orchestra's regular concert shortly after having my first child, and that is where I met him. If it had just been a book about music, I would have passed it by; however, I decided to read it because it covers how to introduce music to children, how to nurture a child's musical sensibility, and how to approach music in everyday life. The first time I properly(?) listened to classical
