According to the fact that is thoroughly investigated and verified by the psychologist, personality formed in the adulthood is based on the one’s early childhood. It is required in the early childhood period some developmental skills have been achieved in order to socialize with people, lead a happy, healthy and successful life.Every child hears the first few months of interest from the music. This interest, his mother said, begins with a lullaby, growing environment, radio, television that, whether at home-school-on the street, learn the music is fed said. To sing, play instruments, dance, make a variety of events such as the motions, because it helps the child's physical and psychomotor development, as evidenced by the research.
