Your child is always growing and developing. The brain processes everything it sees, hears, and does, storing it in memory. You can show your 18-month-old how to feed her baby doll a couple of times. It’s amazing how she remembers how to do it the next time. Why not help her amazing brain? It can experience, explore, and excel by learning through music lessons. Here’s how your child will benefit:

• Listening to many styles of music helps your child learn to love music. They also learn to understand its patterns.
• Playing rhythm instruments helps your child develop fine motor skills. It also helps them explore rhythms and follow directions.
• Listening to and imitating animal sounds builds your child’s communication skills.
• Moving to music helps your child learn about the space around him/her, share, and feel the beat.
• Listening to animal sounds and instrument sounds helps your child discern. They learn about high and low, smooth and bumpy, loud, soft, long and short.
• Exploring music with YOU, helps your child bond with you and learn and retain more!
• Pattern recognition is key. So is following directions and keeping a steady beat. Also, listening for high and low sounds and loving music are key. They are all essential skills before starting private lessons!
