Her tastes will broaden and change as she hears more music and meets new people, just like it's probably developed from teeny bopper pop shite when she was five.



I heartily recommend Alpine professional ear filters - twenty quid from Amazon - as they cut out the most trying frequencies and reduce it all to a slightly less than agonising ooooffff, rather than DOOF DOOF SHOUT SHOUT + shitty generic beats track.



Think of your fortune - you only get one child like it. I've marked an entire class worth of 14 year old Drill fans' compositions in one go. And, despite my natural distaste and horror, there are still musical elements to the tracks. I still get them composing other stuff by the age of 16, though - we've had some great classical pieces, some musical theatre, some EDM and an absolutely cracking Disco track from kids who initially thought music was all about shouting in a high pitched voice about stabbing enemies, at top volume, over somebody else's beats and a few shitty D minor chords. Our 'I'm a Hardman Roadman Gangsta Fam' from 2015 has inexplicably found he loves Jazz and another now makes girls swoon over his delicate renditions of Debussy. And despite the punk rock appearance, I'm a classical singer on the side with a particular love of Renaissance Polyphony - which I found out I share with a Stoner Psychedelic Rocker mate of mine.



But the intervening period before tastes develop is bloody hard work at times. Hence the blessed filters.



Buy them. You won't be disappointed.
