Amanda (et al)

I'm hoping for some advice regarding my daughter. She is eight years old. When she was just months old, before she could crawl, she would scoot/ drag herself to my son's keyboard and try to play. At three she would cry for "my Moooooo-zart" (she was a huge fan of his Requiem) and say things like "Don't you hear the music in your head, Mommy?" She also has a nice voice, and has always made up songs- original words and, as far as I can tell, melody.

I, however, have no musical gift beyond appreciation... I want to nurture her interest, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions?
