10 Benefits Of Music Instruments (Percussions) In Early Childhood (VLOG)

Do you have music instruments in your child's toy collection? If not, then you should seriously consider adding few instruments today!

My 26-month-old son surprised everyone with his self-discovered beat pattern and that motivated me to share with everyone so many benefits of music instruments, specially percussion, in early childhood! Being a singer & musician myself, I cannot be happier to see the beat sense developing so beautifully in my son :)

Check out this video to know some awesome benefits of introducing music instruments to your child!

The Story Of Holi - Song (VLOG)

It is HOLI season here! And every festival has a legend behind it. We as parents should teach our kids the story behind every festival to make them culturally rich individuals. 

The story of Holi was weaved into a Hindi verse form by my father, he is a tremendous writer! He wrote this poem in just 5 minutes in the lunch break at work yesterday. I wanted to create a song out of these lovely lines, especially for kids because kids love music & they tend to remember facts via music in a much better way. So the singer/musician in me tweaked the lyrics slightly here & there while composing a simple tune for it & sang it. So here is the song/poem, whatever you want to call it. 

Do make your kids listen to it this Holi season :) I would love to have your feedback!

Here are the lyrics of the song in Devnagri script - 

असुरों का राजा हिरण्यकश्यप

वरदान मिला बना अजय

अत्याचार करता प्रजा पर

सब पर फैला उसका भय

बेटा प्रह्लाद भक्त था

इश्वर का वो भक्त था 

राजा को नही भाता था

अपने घमंड में पिता पुत्र को

मार डालना चाहता था

बहन होलिका को वर था

कोई जला नहीं सकता था 

कैसी भी हो आग मगर

कोई जला नहीं सकता था

हिरण्यकश्चप के मन में वो 

विचार गंदा आया था 

होलिका के गोद  में जलती 

आग में बेटा बिठाया था 

लेकर प्रह्लाद को गोद में

जलती आग में गयी होलिका

हुआ नही प्रह्लाद को कुछ भी

राख हो गयी स्वयम होलिका

ईश्वर भक्ति की जीत हुई

यूँ सबने होली मनाई थी 

 त्याग और भक्ति की जीत पे

पिचकारियां चलाई थी 

आपस की दुश्मनी भूल कर

 गले सभी मिल जाते हैं

हर साल फाल्गुन पूर्णिमा को

मिल के होली मनाते हैं।।

आओ करें हम सब ये फैसला 

प्यार से धरती सीचेंगे 

सभी जात  और सभी धर्म को 

एक सामान ही देखेंगे 

आओ करें हम सब ये फैसला 

प्यार से धरती सीचेंगे 

Wish you a very Happy Holi & Happy Parenting :)
