We recently introduced elements of music therapy into our individual speech develoment lessons. As music has positive influence on the brain, we observed significant improvement of speech in children.
Music develops speech because it shares structural similarities with language, like rhythm and pitch, which activate similar brain pathways. Musical activities like singing nursery rhymes help with language comprehension, vocabulary, grammar, and phonological awareness by making repetition, rhythm, and rhyme easier for children to process and remember.
