On May 10, 2005, I traveled to Huánuco to present the research on Early Childhood development that Roxana and I have been working on. I was very lucky to have Caroline Fraser traveling with me. She was going to give the Suzuki Philosophy course. The students would attend philosophy in the morning and then they would go on with my early childhood development course in the afternoon. It was very useful to have the philosophy course to complement mine, since Caroline could transmit Dr. Suzuki’s message and therefore the participants could appreciate and understand my course much better.

The Baby 0-3 Years & Music
We have to understand early childhood stimulation as a way to help the baby in discovering his own world—guiding him and supporting him, trying not to correct him or direct him too much, but giving him the opportunity to make his own discoveries. This means a close observation of his behavior by the adult in charge, whose attitude should be one of respect, observing the baby’s reactions without intervening, even if they are not what the adult expected. In this way the baby will show us his essence without taking away from him his creativity, spontaneity and freedom of thought. Otherwise the baby will condition his actions to what the adult expects of him and will not make his own discoveries. For example, if the baby holds a drum upside down, it is OK. He is finding out how it looks on the other side. If he licks the drumsticks, he is exploring them. Don’t try to correct him, just keep objects and toys clean.
