Music & Movement


Music and Movement Benefits
Children are innately drawn to music. And why shouldn’t they be? They have been listening to the rhythm and melody of their mother’s voice since the fourth month after conception.
Children learn best through moving and listening. Music and movement classes will help them grow and develop into successful students.



Did you know....the most recent research has shown that an early music education develops children's brains in ways other activities can't, leading to measurable improvements in abstract reasoning, spatial- temporal skills, even SAT scores.

Music awakens and stimulates neural pathways in the brain that are associated with higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking, empathy, mathematics and science. Music’s melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory. Remember singing the ABC song to learn your ABC’s? Studying music helps children establish good listening habits, which are essential for achievement in school Overall, music activities are perfect for child development. Music immerses the child in language, evokes movement, stimulates the brain and fosters physical coordination – all in a group setting that builds community – a holistic experience.
