Why Music in Early Childhood?

Music is vital to our lives. We listen in the car, at a party, or at a religious service.  We listen to music that celebrates our country. Music brings meaning to life. You already know she loves it when she dances to everything she hears. You know he loves it when he can’t stop drumming on everything!  Music is already in their heads and hearts. In fact, while in the womb, your child could hear his mother’s heartbeat.  So, listening, dancing, and feeling that beat keeps them connected to their first sounds!  

Music is first necessary for the sake of music.  Studies have shown that music helps your child learn. At Music Moments we teach our classes to let the music and movement connect to your child’s brain. In other words, we are helping the brain tune in to all the knowledge that is around it. For example, when we sing Old MacDonald Had a Farm, we help your child learn the animal sounds. They also learn the vowel sound “e-i-e-i-o.” Later we’ll only think the “e-i-e-i-o” to memorize the words, the beat, and the melody. When we pretend to go to the farm with the song, your child understands the purpose and meaning behind the song.

Music is for celebration. It is for intentional learning. And it is for making friends!  Music brings us together. In our Early Childhood Music classes, we make new friends by sharing. We do this through circle dances like Little Liza Jane. We also do this by building a community in our class. In piano, we make new friends when we play a duet with another student. And we make friends even at recitals!Learning music is a process for a life time!  Enjoying music, learning and growing together is what life is all about.  You can read more about the research for music education on the following pages.  Thank you for choosing Music Moments!
