Happy Wednesday!
Music and book time are a hit in our house always!

She’s seriously an old soul because she just sits and gets superrrrr pumped at anything books alwayssss and even will babble along with you if you’re doing it wrong! Hhaha.

Music time in our house looks different always! Sometimes it’s me playing the piano (I have to practise too so it works out), me giving her developmentally appropriate size baby percussion instruments and singing with her or me moving her hands and feet along to songs. She loves it either way!

Music is a super simple way to work on both physical and cognitive skills and is amazing for literacy starting from birth! What may seem simple has lasting positive effects, and is just simply adorable 🥰

Unlocking the world of high and low sounds is key for young minds! 🎶 Understanding pitch boosts brain development and enhances listening skills. Introducing these concepts early makes learning music—and everything else—more fun and intuitive! 🧠✨

🎹 Tiny hands, big dreams! 🎶 Teaching piano for kiddos as early as age 4 is all about making music magical and memorable! We start with simple concepts, turning them into fun games that stick. Think hands-on activities, bouncing between the piano and creative table time to keep those little minds engaged. We relate everything to what they already know, making learning a joyful adventure. Let's strike a chord together! 🌟

Morning!
These books are so cute! This is an amazing book to have as part of a music and movement program! Honoring a child’s attention span to sit and read during a story means having movement breaks afterwards! This could mean, asking the child to show you how certain animals in the page move, having another child be the leader and ask their friends to move like a frog or run like a deer! I’d also provides opportunities to sing songs, example, 5 green and speckled frogs as well as add an art project that goes with the story. I would do this with a group of three and up! Kind of like younger preschool aged and plan on doing so when I have groups with that age demographic.

This F*R*E*E Emotions Song is a great way to teach children to manage anger. We all get angry, but it’s just a matter of knowing what to do with that feeling when we have it! https://play-to-learn-preschool.ck.page/1409b03b52

See what music does!?

Preschoolers who can clap to a beat may have a head start in learning to read. This fascinating connection between music and literacy is rooted in how the brain processes rhythm. Music and language share similar brain wiring, which is why children who engage in rhythmic activities like clapping often find it easier to pick up reading skills later on. It’s an exciting revelation that can help shape how we approach early childhood education.

This insight shows that rhythm and music aren't just fun, they play a crucial role in brain development. The ability to follow a beat helps with phonemic awareness—the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate sounds—which is foundational for reading. Encouraging young children to clap, sing, or dance to a rhythm could give them an edge when it comes to learning to read.

It’s not just about making music fun; it's about utilizing the brain's natural wiring to make learning easier. By fostering an early love for music and rhythm, we can help children develop key skills that will benefit them throughout their educational journey. The brain’s connection between rhythm and language is something that can be harnessed in the classroom for great results.

Rhythm can also be a calming tool for children, helping them to focus and regulate their emotions. It’s a holistic approach to education that goes beyond reading and writing. Introducing music and rhythm at an early age sets the stage for a well-rounded, balanced approach to learning. It’s a tool for both cognitive and emotional development.

Incorporating rhythm and music into education doesn’t just benefit reading—it also helps children improve their concentration and coordination. The impact of these early musical experiences can continue throughout a child’s life, enhancing their overall cognitive function and social-emotional well-being.

If you’ve ever seen a child tap their feet or clap along to a song, remember: they’re building skills that will serve them for years to come. Music isn’t just entertainment; it’s a tool for learning and growing. 🎶📚
