Music is Yummy, and Good For You Too.











Music is Yummy, and Good For You Too.
We all know music has the power to engage, relax, and energize us… and what’s even better, it has also been shown to make children smarter! Studies conducted by early childhood specialists have shown, preschoolers who received regular music lessons over several months showed marked advantages over their playmates who did not. Children dramatically improved their abilities to work mazes, copy patterns of color, and draw geometric figures. These skills reflect spatial intelligence, the foundation for more complex types of reasoning (such as those used in math and science).
Music is magical. Music has been found to stimulate every area of the developing brain, and similar studies with youngsters have linked early musical exposure to superior motor skills and even social abilities. Although the ability to learn continues throughout life, hands-on participation in music between the ages of three and ten seems to train the brain for higher thinking, and children who miss out on the fun of playing music may also miss some critical developmental opportunities.
The bottom line is, music is YUMMY and provides a healthy, natural and invaluable opportunity for individual expression while encouraging the development of the whole child, enhancing cognitive, social, physical, emotional skills and all things good for the soul.....
The fact that MUSIC IS FUN should not be underestimated. Stimulating, amusing activities like playing music will capture and hold your child's interest and satisfy their craving for fun, while providing them with invaluable lessons that will endure the rest of their lives.
