Read what Music Together recently published about social-emotional learning with music.
🎵 Easy Ways to Support Social-Emotional Learning with Music

📚 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/e7Xfrfgy Exchange Press

Did you know that making music with young children can naturally support key social-emotional skills like self-regulation, empathy, confidence, and leadership?

Research shows that joyful group music-making fosters:

✨ Better impulse control
✨ Stronger classroom cooperation
✨ Empathy and emotional expression
✨ A sense of belonging and leadership opportunities
