If a family is into music, you best believe that everyone is going to be musically-inclined. When parents are musicians and into the arts, they usually instill these interests in their children as well. Or, if they don’t try to, a lot of the time, kids are taken by sounds and music on their own. Musical talent often appears in children at a very young age. Children in musical households experience a lot of benefits, physically, intellectually and emotionally. According to Bright Horizons, music education can impact children in the following ways:
“…musical experiences in childhood can actually accelerate brain development, particularly in the areas of language acquisition and reading skills… learning to play an instrument can improve mathematical learning and even increase SAT scores. Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness: intellectual, social and emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression. For children and adults, music helps strengthen memory skills.”
The toddler in this video was raised in a musical household and has a head start on everything that comes along with it. While music has all types of benefits for this little boy, none of that matters to him. All he wants to do is take the mic and get started! His eagerness is so adorable.
His dad picks up the guitar and begins to play, but two-year-old Luca wants to be part of the performance. Dad hands him a harmonica and places him in front of the mic, and his impressive performance begins. Sure, he’s not a professional, but he has the heart and passion that it takes to be a musician, and it’s clear that this little boy will be ready for an on-stage performance in a few years.
This toddler isn’t playing lullabies and cartoon songs — he sings the blues! His adorable performance shows real promise, but right now he’s just having fun. Not only is he reaping the benefits of learning and playing music, but little Luca is also spending quality time with his father. These memories will undoubtedly last a lifetime, and we’re glad this was recorded for us all to see!
Watch his adorable performance below and please like and share the video!
