Stop for a moment (if you will), and imagine a world without music……quiet, huh? No more happy birthdays, national anthems, lullabies, love songs, on-hold music, theme songs, holiday carols, dance music or movie musicals hits like “Let It Go” from Frozen. Well, depending on how much you’ve heard “Let It Go” recently, that could be a good thing-☺

We are surrounded by music on a daily basis, but did you know that music is actually good for you? Here are the top 10 reasons to have music in your child’s life!

MIND

1. Music utilizes and integrates the right and left hemispheres of the brain.
2. Certain types of music facilitate mathematical reasoning and spatial relationships.
3. Singing facilitates language development.

HEART

1. Music promotes bonding (parent/child/family/community).
2. Music can help a child focus, relax, energize, and can even soothe fussiness.

BODY

1. Rhythmic movement facilitates gross motor development and physical coordination.
2. Instrument play facilitates small motor development and eye/hand coordination.

SPIRIT

1. Music provides a vehicle for creativity, expression, joy, spontaneity, and fun!
2. Music is a multicultural celebration and expression of the human spirit.
3. Music builds self-confidence and self-esteem.
