Music and Early Brain Development

Music is a powerful tool that works on all levels of development: socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
Because children love music, social interaction between adults and children using music can makes the interaction easier.
Music affects our emotions and can be used to calm and sooth a child who is having a hard day. Music should be used when a child has colic or is ill. Music also helps in the building of greater self-esteem
Music causes children to want to move about and helps children learn about rhythm, timing, orientation, and coordination.
Also, music has been known to affect children's educational and learning abilities and is linked to improved math, memory and reading skills. Music enhances intelligence, learning and IQ.
