OUR CLASSES HELP DEVELOP
COMMUNICATIONAL TOOL
Strangers become friends when we enjoy the same kind of music.
Kids too find it easier to make friends and feel accepted when a similar
song or rhyme is played that is known to both.
SOCIALIZING
Music teaches cooperation, following directions and developing social
relationships.
Ways and techniques to get along with other people.
TRANSITION
Singing a song helps kids leave one activity behind and go on to
another.
CONFIDENCE
Studies have proven: children express emotions like happiness,
sadness, loneliness, excitement, or being scared by singing or body
movements.
ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
Active participation in music (singing) increases retention, builds memory, and
actually helps grow the brain in young children! Because children naturally love
to sing, there is no “teaching,” just doing! An action-song provides a child the
opportunity to integrate rhythm, body percussion and vocalization.
