There’s no disputing the many values of children’s music. Research has proven the positive effects music has on brain development and how music increases primary areas of a child’s intellectual growth — boosting vocabulary, language, memory, literacy awareness, math comprehension and much more. Music inspires inventiveness as it encourages a child’s imagination and creative free expression. Interactive songs invite children to participate and communicate socially. And as uplifting tunes elevate a child’s self-awareness; multicultural songs also inspire cultural unity and advocate respect for others. Plus — the physical benefits of music combined with movement and dance are AMAZING!
Did you know that singing actually has health benefits and improves brain function? Singing releases endorphin’s which make you feel energized and uplifted. When you sing your stress level is lowered and you relieve anxiety. In general, children and adults who sing are happier and healthier.
These songs are perfect for indoor recess, group activities, brain breaks, morning meetings and physical education.
