All babies are brand new, going through everything for the first time...so why does it seem like some little ones have a lifetime of experiences under their belt? Every now and then, you come across an infant who just has those "old soul" vibes — and it really makes you wonder!
In a video posted on June 11, a baby girl is cracking her mom up with a musical performance on a somewhat unlikely instrument: a harmonica! As her mom puts it, she's totally giving "73-year-old granddad singing the blues in a bar" (and it's adorable).

Why Playing With Musical Instruments Is Good for Babies and Toddlers
Everybody knows that young kids should be exposed to as much music as possible, but "research shows that making music has even more developmental benefits than simply listening to music or observing someone play an instrument," according to BabySparks.
Playing musical instruments helps little ones to build fine and gross motor skills, enhances hand-eye coordination, and supports sensory development.
"Movement, balance, hearing, and touch are all involved as your toddler learns to hold and play different instruments. He begins to understand , for example, that banging a drum slowly and softly creates a different sound than banging it quickly and forcefully."
If your kid decides to stick with a particular instrument, they'll also learn patience and perseverance.
"As your child gets older, learning to really play an instrument will require time and focus. But even now, mimicking you create a simple beat can teach your toddler patience and perseverance, and give him a sense of accomplishment."
Whatever instrument your baby or toddler enjoys, the more time they spend playing it, the better off their brains will be.
"A study conducted in 2016 at the University of Southern California found that young children who played instruments experienced an increase in brain development in comparison to those who did not. Researchers specifically saw growth in the areas of the brain that are responsible for language development, speech perception, sound processing, and reading skills."
And if you're wondering what instrument to start with, the baby in this video would probably recommend a harmonica!
