Listen 4

(part 4 of 8 from the article The Benefits of Listening)

Where and when should we listen?

Listening doesn’t necessarily mean sitting with rapt attention staring at the CD player.  Keep your copy of the Suzuki CD in a convenient place and have it playing as background music as much as possible.  For our family, that means it stays in the CD player in the kitchen.  I push play at breakfast, leave the “Repeat” button on, and off we go.  For your family, that might mean it is the CD in your car and your main listening time is on the way to and from school.  For my mom, that meant we had a CD player in our rooms and she pushed play while we were getting ready for bed and let it go until after we fell asleep.  Other good listening times are during meals, while doing homework, or in the family room/play room/wherever playtime happens.  The important thing is to have AT LEAST one time per day SCHEDULED for listening.  If you wait until you remember, you’ll forget.  Right now, fill in this sentence and then keep your word!
