Abstract

This study examines the dual impact of parent-child music interaction activities on family relationships and the development of music interest in young children. It aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which such activities shape the growth environment of children and initiate artistic literacy, providing theoretical foundations and practical guidance for optimizing early education practices. The research employs a comprehensive methodology, including surveys, behavioral observations, and psychological assessments. Different age groups of children and their families were selected as subjects. Through diverse parent-child music interaction activities, feedback data from parents and children were collected before and after the activities, while detailed observations of parent-child interactions were made. Professional psychological scales were used to assess changes in children's music interest. The findings indicate that parent-child music interaction activities significantly enhance family relationships, improve emotional communication and understanding between parents and children, and foster a harmonious family atmosphere. Additionally, these activities positively influence the development of children's music interest, stimulating their perception and exploration of music, and enhancing their musical cognition and performance abilities. Thus, actively engaging in parent-child music interaction activities is of significant importance for the physical and psychological development of children and the construction of a supportive family environment.
