“I believe that we are all connected through music and that every child has been blessed with an internal rhythm and creativity that is unique to their personality and connects them to others. It is our responsibility as educators to create a nurturing environment that helps guide and cultivate the expression of their inner rhythm by providing a high-quality, fun, and engaging experience with all types of musical forms. I believe that music education can be both structured and spontaneous, guided and free, colorful, emotional, and transformational—all at the same time.”

Music Matters for Early Childhood Development

September 14, 20201 min read

Dr. Dennie Palmer Hall,  published a research paper titled “Why Making Music Matters,” exploring the role music plays in a child’s daily life that can lead to success in adulthood.  According to the findings, investing in young children through music helps with physical and mental health, literacy levels, school success, and relationship with others. Dr. Hall found that live music, from lullabies as an infant to sing-along songs as a toddler plays a large role in language skills and developing and maintaining relationships with others. 

Programs like Teeny Violini help children develop their musical skills which can lead to children’s attentiveness in other areas. Learning new skills give children a sense of accomplishment and can encourage them to explore other areas of interest. An early introduction to music can be a life-long resource of delight, expression, learning and inventing.
