The Benefits of Music and Movement
|
Like all the best learning experiences in early childhood, music
activities simultaneously promote development in multiple domains. Singing a
lullaby while rocking a baby stimulates early language development, promotes
attachment, and supports an infant’s growing spatial awareness as the child
experiences her body moving in space. It
is very important to help young children develop musical awareness. The key is to start
exposing young children to the joys of music early in life. In addition, don’t
be afraid to sing and dance with the children. The more enthusiastic you are,
the more the children will enjoy learning about music. Through experience with
different instruments and types of music,
children slowly become aware of differences in pitch, tone, and
volume.
Even young babies will look surprised when one egg shaker makes a different sound from all the others. Music plays a powerful role in the lives of young children. Through music, babies and toddlers can come to better understand themselves and their feelings, learn to decipher patterns and solve problems, and discover the world around them in rich, complex ways. Most important, sharing music experiences with the people they love makes very young children feel cherished and important. |
