Dear Powers That Be:

HOW MANY ARTICLES ON MUSIC AND TODDLERS CAN THERE POSSIBLY BE IN THIS DATABASE?

BETTER QUESTION: WHY DO I HAVE TO LOOK OVER 830 SEARCH RESULTS TO FIND, MAXIMUM, TWENTY. DAMN. RELEVANT RESULTS????????

Seriously. I have clicked and re-clicked the "AND" option, yet it still insists on showing me a zillion articles that contain ONLY "music" or "toddlers." Moreover, there is no "NOT" option, and I am really, really, REALLY sick of getting excited and clicking something only to discover that it is YET ANOTHER article about music for toddlers at risk for autism, deafness, or other disabilities. Not that it's not awesome that music can help them, but SERIOUSLY, NOT WHAT I PERSONALLY AM LOOKING FOR AT THE MOMENT.

Also, this library is creepy. And freezing cold.

And I am whiny and petty and can't even feel ashamed of it. WHY DID I DECIDE TO GET MY EDUCATION, WHYWHYWHYWHYWHYWHY?????????????????


Yrs in crankiness,

P.S. Why do all the promising articles cost money to read?

P.P.S. What the hell does that MEAN, "culturally deaf"??

I don't actually know any specific methods/educators, and anyway most of them (so far as I'm aware) target older children; this has to be about children under the age of three.

Can I borrow it? I'm down for the weekend. *bats eyelashes*

I emailed the PDF to you. Ev and I found an ebook version. Kindermusik and Musikgarten (don't know how to spell them) are both for super young children as well as older and I'm pretty sure Dalcroze wrote some things about early early music exposure too. I know there are other people (lots of other people) but all of my reference books are at home :(

Also try looking up the Mozart Effect. That should bring up things about music exposure at a young age.
