Why Early Childhood Music?*
Children are innately drawn to music. And why shouldn’t
they be? They have been listening to the rhythm and melody
of their mother’s voice since the fourth month after
conception. Children learn best through moving and
listening. Music and movement classes will help them grow
and develop into successful students.
●
Music awakens and stimulates
neural pathways in the brain that are associated with
higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking,
empathy, mathematics and science.
● Music’s melodic and
rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help
develop memory. Remember singing the ABC song to learn your
ABC’s?
● Studying music helps
children establish good listening habits, which are
essential for achievement in school.
●
Overall, music activities are
perfect for child development. Music immerses the child in
language, evokes movement, stimulates the brain and fosters
physical coordination – all in a group setting that builds
community – a holistic experience.
