CRDL Music & Movement at your Library
Sing and dance with your child! Wave some ribbons, play with scarves, tap some rhythm sticks, and shake some shaker eggs. What do music and paper plates have in common? Find out! Let your inner child come out and play as you help your child develop the ability to learn!
On Wednesday November 12th the Youth Services staff at your Chippewa River District Library invites you to CRDL Music and Movement at 10:15am in the CRDL Community Rooms at Veterans Memorial Library in Mt. Pleasant. CRDL Music and Movement is free and designed for children up to 5 years old.
Children are born with the ability to respond to music and sound. That means that before a child learns to speak, they connect with song and sound. Studies show that young children who play music or sing on a regular basis perform better in math and reading when they enter school. Singing, dancing, and playing music increases fine motor skills, helps develop hand-eye coordination, and builds self-esteem in young children.
Active participation in musical activities alters the anatomy of the brain. Early musical experiences intensify the development of interconnections between brain cells (neuronal synapses). Essentially, early musical experiences enhance a child’s ability to think, learn, reason and create. From birth to age two, the proliferation of neuronal synapses it at its peak, however the number remains elevated until a child is around 10 years old, so the benefits of music can still be realized in older children.
For music to have a profound effect on brain development, a child must physically engage in musical activities. They need to feel, make, hear, and memorize sounds and patterns; they need to sing, clap, dance, and remember movements.
Musical training physically develops the part of the left side of the brain known to be involved with processing language.
- Young children with developed rhythm skills perform better academically
- Music is now being recognized as a form of intelligence, not just a manifestation of it.
- Music enhances brain development
- Music improves your child’s memory, problem solving techniques, understanding and recollection
- Dancing, clapping and other choreographed physical movements develops a child’s fine and gross motor skills
- Music aids language development
CRDL Music and Movement engages children in a number of stimulating musical activities. Singing and rhyming of both recorded and live music and motivating the children to make controllable musical sounds encourages them to follow patterns in the rhythm and melody of the music and allows them to respond to the music through movement.
