The “Apple, Apple, A, A, A” song has been a constant in my life. My mom would play it on cassette tape to soothe me as a child, its melody lulling me to sleep. The tune is so deeply ingrained in my memory that I can still hear it echoing in my mind.
As a parent, I played this album “Sounds Like Fun” in CD format for my own children to fall asleep. Now, as a music therapy student, I’ve rediscovered the song’s simple melody and repetitive chords making it an excellent tool for my own journey in learning how to play the guitar.
But perhaps the most heartwarming aspect of this song is its impact on our foster child, Boo Boo Bear. He definitely has a special connection to it. He lights up with a smile across his face whenever he hears those familiar notes. It’s a beautiful reminder of the power of music to bring joy and comfort.
This timeless song has truly enriched my life, from childhood lullabies to adult learning experiences. It’s a symbol of the power of music to connect us over time, soothe us with comfort, and inspire us in learning.
