Playing with music is always fun! Right way to start the summer!

“Nothing activates the brain so extensively as music,” said the late Oliver Sacks, M.D., neurologist and author of Musicophilia. (ADDitude: Music Therapy: Sound Medicine for ADHD https://www.additudemag.com/music-therapy-for-adhd-how-rhythm-builds-focus/)

Music builds and strengthens the auditory, visual/spatial, and motor cortices of the brain. (ADDitude: How Music Unlocked My Son’s ADHD Brain: https://www.additudemag.com/ta-dah/)

A child’s active engagement in music can have many positive effects, including:
● Perceptual, language and literacy skills
● Numeracy
● Intellectual development
● Attention and concentration
● Physical development and health

In contrast to the disputed nature of the Mozart Effect, research clearly reveals that music training has an influence on a variety of aspects of development in early childhood.

Top 5 Ways Music Helps Development:
1. Music increases toddler’s sensory development.
2. Music can improve literacy and numeracy.
3. Music is a mood lifter.
4. Music helps toddlers build coordination.
5. Music can help toddlers develop their vocabulary.
(Playgroup NSW: The Importance Of Music In The Development Of Toddlers https://www.playgroupnsw.org.au/ParentResources/EarlyChildhoodDevelopment/importance-of-music-toddler-development)

Research has shown that listening to music shows an improvement in certain kinds of mental tasks. But these are specifically short-term improvements involving “spatial-temporal reasoning” skills – puzzle solving type tasks.

By starting music at a young age and pursuing it as an almost daily activity, it can contribute to the development of your child’s brain. https://homeschoolbase.com/benefits-of-learning-music-at-an-early-age/

A 2016 study at the University of Southern California’s Brain and Creativity Institute found that musical experiences in childhood can actually accelerate brain development, particularly in the areas of language acquisition and reading skills. (Children and Music: Benefits of Music in Child Development https://www.brighthorizons.com/family-resources/music-and-children-rhythm-meets-child-development)

Music strengthens the areas of the brain that, in the child with ADHD, are weak. Music builds and strengthens the auditory, visual/spatial, and motor cortices of the brain. These areas are tied to speech and language, reading, reading comprehension, math, problem solving, brain organization, focusing, concentration, and attention issues. Studies indicate that when children with ADHD or learning disabilities learn a musical instrument, attention, concentration, impulse control, social functioning, self-esteem, self-expression, motivation, and memory improve. Some studies show that children who have difficulty focusing when there is background noise are particularly helped by music lessons.

Dr. Gottfried Schlaug, PhD from the Harvard Medical School: Enhanced sensory connections translate into improved comprehension, language, and brain functions. The simple fact that you must engage your physical, mental, and auditory abilities when you’re learning violin stimulates increases cognitive activity.
