Have you heard the idea that playing music for infants and toddlers while they sleep will make them smarter? Well, it's actually kind of true: Music education can raise a child's IQ, help them learn a language, and increases their math and science capacity.

While music education can fuel a child's creative processes and opens the door to other skill sets, its importance may be overlooked by parents due to low accessibility and high prices in the mainstream market.

One music loving mother recognized the importance of early music education and created Kickstarter project: meet Pomelody, a comprehensive (and affordable) music education system for young children and their families.

The system is kind of like a combination of Netflix and Spotify — it consists of multiple seasons of music making classes, animated stories, and lectures featuring 25 different songs. The best part? It can be done anywhere, anytime, without forking over a fortune for instruments.

Here's how it works:

Each story presents music theory in an easily understandable form with songs featuring a wide variety of sounds, distinct musical contrasts, and tonal and rhythmic variety. Because kids can hear before they can speak, Pomelody is a doorway for parents to communicate with kids before they learn to talk.

Not only does Pomelody help kids grow up immersed in a diverse music environment, but it gives parents the chance to become the best music teacher their kid could ever have — a game changer for family bonding.

Pomelody will be delivered in February 2018. Experience the power of melody and back the project here.
