I'm 48 years old, and I can't remember many of the things I had to memorize in grade school (e.g. Gettysburg Address), but when I'm listening to the 70s radio station, I can often sing along with every word. What a waste of brainpower. :-P It’s true!

This was one of the first to combine music with teaching a foreign language (20 years ago) and my daughter loved it. Also, even if your child doesn't learn to speak a foreign language, the child hears sounds they wouldn't otherwise be exposed to which forms neural connections to make it easier for them to learn one later in life.

I have been teaching children languages since 1990, and music is by far THE most effective trick up my sleeve. Even my high school students quickly learn and retain any information I can present in the form of a song or chant. Merci :-) An outstanding post!
