What children get from listening to, singing along with, and dancing to music…
They get a sense of freedom, both imaginative and movement-based. Music is one of the many joys of living.
A few essentials of the musical experience are steady beat, expressive language, and coordination. Music is such a powerful influence on the healthy growth of brain cells and on children’s emotional, social, and psychological growth, that it’s hard to do justice to its importance in a few sentences.
They learn mental/physical coordination, teamwork, and the joy of experiencing the creative process.
