Expose them to classical music in a way they can enjoy it.
The first thing you need to do when introducing your children to classical music is to make them interested in it. We all know how first impressions last. You can start small by letting them watch cartoons having musical background in it. In their spare time you may play classical music which they can dance with. One interesting piece you can try is “In the Hall of the Mountain King” by Camille Saint-Saens.
Later on, as they progress in getting themselves familiar with how classical music sounds, you may want to take them to live classical music performance for them to truly appreciate it.
Enroll them in a good music school where they can learn and play instruments of their preference.
