Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers

"Music helps with self esteem and self discipline as well as school subjects."

Listen to music with your child everyday!!!

Young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year, compared to children who do not receive musical training. Musically trained children performed better in a memory test that is correlated with general intelligence skills such as literacy, verbal memory, visiospatial processing, mathematics, and IQ. - Dr. Laurel Trarinor, Prof. of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behavior at McMaster University, 2006.

Playing a musical instrument significantly enhances the brain stem's sensitivity to speech sounds. This relates to encoding skills involved with music and language. Experience with music at a young age can "fine-tune" the brain's auditory system. - Nature Neuroscience, April 2007.

For musical activities to do with your young child go to my website, find the preschool page. http://sites.google.com/site/musicbycatherine

Don't forget about your pots and pans band. If your young one holds their ears and cries, it is probably hurting their ears. Many young children with a good ear for music do not like loud sounds.
