i've not managed to find any testimonials online about using tuning forks to teach perfect pitch. but at the end of the day, it doesnt really matter, just have fun with my daughter, that's the most important. if she gets perfect pitch,, that's an added bonus. relationships before results..

tuning forks are a bit expensive. i checked out the glockenspiel in the local music store yesterday, i tested 2 with metronome, one did not not have perfect pitch, another one which is double the price of the first one has perfect pitch but is too big for my home..
anyone taught perfect pitch with tuning forks and found them effective?

Thanks TMS.
Is there any good books, or website for flashcards and all? I dont want to start on Little Pim for Japanese coz' I am limiting her screen time to an hour a day for the time being, until she is a little older.

Hi,
Decided to take the plunge and start on Japanese... .. I am going to start to make Japanese flash cards, should I flash in Kanji (Japanese characters) or alphabets,, Romanji?
Please advise. Thanks.

I know it is good to start early in languages. My little girl can speak Mandarin, cantonese, english and she watches Little Pim Spanish, not speaking though. I am thinking of introducing Japanese. Absorbing at a young age is one thing, but how do I keep up the languages as she grows older? I think languages is something where you need to constantly expose in order to remember the languages and practise frequently. As she grows up and goes to school , she would have other sport activities,, music lessons etc.. how much time would be required to "keep" the languages, if you are not exposed to the language in your daily environment?

i started on LIttle Pim Spanish dvd some time back. Basically my daughter just follow along and pronounce the words. I will be making spanish flash cards later, and let her listen to spanish cd at the background while she is playing. I can't bring her to spanish playgroup yet, coz' the time doesnt fit our schedule. I was thinking of hiring a spanish teacher,, my daugher is 26 months old, would hiring a spanish teacher be any good and do what? any idea?
