It's definitely not as easy as that. Although I have exposed my two young sons to various types of music since before their births, they have their own ideas about what they want to hear. Also, each time I discuss starting to teach my 7 year old how to play piano, I am met with great resistance. He has no interest whatsoever. So now I'm faced with whether I'm prepared to engage in the battle of forcing him "for his own good" or if I wait it out a while longer, hoping he'll decide it's worth his time and effort.

To inspire your own children, all it takes is an introduction to music at an early age. I remember as a child listening to 80s music, and even having a favorite song, "I Just Called To Say I Love You." I jumped around and tried to dance the best as I could as a 3-year-old. By the time I reached elementary school my parents incorporated music into my life by making me take piano lessons. Soon thereafter, the music stuck with me and well, here I am. It can be as simple as playing classical music, but most important is to entwine music with a critical moment in a child's developement. That would be my best idea on making it stick.
