ITA with aquinas. We played all kinds of music for ours beginning from when they were in utero (not on purpose; it's just what we like). #1 was probably the only 4 yo in preschool who liked prog rock and could sing a blues note...and now #1 code-switches easily. Pop music is rather unavoidable, but the range of quality music from across genres needs more deliberate exposure at home. It's a bit like learning the majority language; children raised in it will become conversant in it one way or the other, but if you don't protect the home language, it's highly likely to be lost.


...pronounced like the long vowel and first letter of the alphabet...
