I can only guess, since we can't get it straight from Holt
himself....

Bring in a variety of instruments for joyful exploration, play music
yourself, answer your child's questions, play a variety of CD'S and
music styles, play music videos, in other words, fill your home with
music and instruments and enjoy them yourself.
If a child wants something more formal, it will usually come in
later years and you can assist them the way you have their entire
lives, by helping them find the resources they need.
Easy, fun.....and so unschoolish.
