Our semester instrument this semester in Sound Beginnings is the tambourine. Exploring simple rhythm instruments, like the tambourine, helps children learn to keep a steady beat, which positively impacts their development in several ways. Keeping a steady beat helps children:
-walk and run with a steady gait, pedal a bicycle, dribble a ball, use scissors and write smoothly.
-show an increase in neural responses to speech sounds and in identifying and
repeating simple patterns
-increase their level of interest and engagement with music
