Why teach music to your young child?

  1. The rhythm of music helps new walkers instill a basic sense of timing in their muscles and minds, leading to better coordination, balance, body awareness, strength, and physical grace.
  2. Songs can encourage expressive speech, increase vocabulary, and a sense of well-being and confidence.
  3. Dance and movement to music enhances your child's spatial and bodily-kinesthetic skills.
  4. Music teaches children about how their own bodies move and helps them recreate movements they discovered during a musical dance.
  5. Children use music to express emotions and feelings that are new or uncomfortable.
  6. Music is a foundation for a lifetime of active listening.
  7. Music teaches children to respect others and creates a shared space for learning.

Instructor: Christa Lynn Sherman has been involved in music and theatre since a young age. She started learning piano at the age of four and continued on into her high school years.
