Our second semester of enrichment classes have begun and Ms. Joanie’s music class is rockin’! As parents, we want to give our children every opportunity for successful growth. Yet, we don’t want them to grow up too fast! Music allows children to savor the best parts of childhood. There are also many benefits of music participation in the early years. Music encourages children to move! Moving is an integral part of preparing the brain to learn. Music also fosters a sense of community and belonging as well as provides an outlet for self-expression. School readiness is closely linked to music readiness. The same skills and experiences necessary for a child to be ready for music lessons when they are older are the same skills and experiences that enhance and even accelerate academic readiness and success. Listening, identifying patterns, problem-solving, creative thinking, and self-confidence are skills that music develops.
If you would like to join the fun in Ms. Joanie’s Music enrichment class in the studio let us know! We would love to welcome your child into the program.
