Here’s what Koops discovered about utilizing the family car for enhancing music appreciation and development:
- “It is distraction-free from home activities, such as cooking, cleaning and phone calls.
- Minimal eye contact by parents gave the children a sense of freedom to experiment.
- Confined space in the car helped parents focus on their children, play games and reflect about what music the child listened to or composed on his or her own.
- The divided front and back seats provided a close space where siblings could interact with each other through music making.
- Families also found siblings interacted in singing and playing musical games together.”
