The couple have exposed their 5-year-old son Adler to lots of music, in their kitchen in Nova Scotia, by way of a stereo turntable. Alder loves the reggae music of Bob Marley as much as he loves Beethoven, according to his dad.
"At this stage in the game, I want to throw it all in a melting pot and just hear it and take it at face value. He’s got the rest of his life to draw boundaries between styles of music," Hill said.

Alder is already quite good at identifying instruments. When his mother played the first movement of Beethoven’s 7th, he could identify the flute and the timpani even though the album, produced in the 50s, is a little scratchy from wear.
"Beethoven is a really fun entry point to classical music, I think," said Janelle. “It’s obvious when it’s a calm part or a sad part or when it’s a real angry part. I think kids can really identify with that emotional landscape.”
When asked if he liked Beethoven’s music, Alder replied “Yes, I do. It’s exciting!”
Alder can’t quite believe that Beethoven would be 250 years old if he were still alive.
“WHAT?!? That’s older than Gramps!” he told his mom.
“Yes,” his mom said. "And we’re STILL listening to his music."
Janelle and Hill made a recording in their home studio in Nova Scotia for CPR Classical. They did their own arrangement of "O How Can I Be Blithe." It’s from a set of 25 Scottish folk tunes Beethoven arranged between 1812 and 1817.
