Week 7 FOL: Learning Integration
Learning and development are not compartmentalized but integrated. What happens in one area of the brain affects and influences the other areas much like a domino effect. One of the wonderful things about musical play is that it has a domino effect in so many areas of the brain. In our Kindermusik class the focus of a particular activity might be singing; however, development in many other areas is taking place such as: steady beat, expressive movement, pretend play, instrument play, social interaction, problem solving, patterning, as well as language and speech development.
