My 20 month old daughter LOVES music... not the typical Barney-esque type music that most toddlers love, but complex adult music, like classical, polka, jazz and alternative. She couldn't honestly care less about "kiddie" music... she actually ignores it, but if a classical tune she likes comes on, she will stop whatever she is doing to listen.
She "sings" along with songs - no words naturally yet, but she "la-la-la"s in time and in tune. Happy, upbeat music makes her dance and the slow sad sounding ones make her little lip tremble and she'll start to cry w/ real tears. We have to be really careful with slow Christmas carols, because most of them tear her up.
Does this mean that she might be musically inclined? My husband played the viola all through middle and high school, and I played the piano some when I was younger. Both of us really love music.
Do any of you out there have children that are really sensitive to music, and as they got older, what did it evolve into?
