The Magic of Music Week 15 FOL

I've so enjoyed our Kindermusik semester and will miss all of you with my move to Katy, Texas. Continue to make music a daily part of your child's life. The processes of making music enhances your child's development. Musical play engages all the different learning centers your in child’s brain. As these center work together making music the the pathways and connections between these sections of the brain and the brain hemispheres are strengthened. Strong connections make it easier your child to think, reason, and learn. Making music also helps your child develop socially and emotionally. Music gives them another avenue to experience, explore, and express emotion. Making music, especially in a group, requires a child to learn self-control, cooperation, and other important social skills! But the greatest thing about musical play is it's fun and helps create wonderful childhood memories. One of the greatest compliments I ever received was from my daughter when she returned from college one summer. She said to me, "Mom, as I talk to other people about there childhood I realize what a gift you gave me with all the singing and dancing we did at home. The way you used music in our home made my childhood magical." Keep your home full of the magic of music! (Thanks for the pictures Christina!)
