… naturally, when we provide it to them as a natural part of their lives! In my experience, I see children participating in rehearsals, concerts, and opera performances from a very young age. Some also play instruments themselves. Later on, their headphones play not only rap, pop, or hip-hop but also, just as naturally, classical music. To ensure that this openness and curiosity towards all kinds of music isn’t just a privilege for children of musicians but available to all children and young people, we need accessible and vibrant early musical education. This can be achieved through our schools, children’s groups, and activities by orchestras and theaters, among others. It is scientifically undisputed that music benefits not only our souls but also our brains. Therefore, it is essential that we continue to advocate for open access to all kinds of music for every child and young person!
