Music is Everywhere!

We live in a world of sound. As children develop their ability to perceive and respond to the sounds in their environment, they are developing important skills that can enhance all later learning .Good auditory perception skills facilitate the development of language as well as music.

Where do you hear music? This week, work with your kids and help them recognize music through out their day. In the grocery store, in the car, at school, even hum or sing or put on the radio at home during the day at different volumes and see when they recognize it. Then feel free to reward their auditory discrimination skills by asking more questions like 'what kind of music? happy/sad/fast/slow. Get specific with them then ask them to move their bodies to match the sound! It's sure to increase the giggles and grins as well as their listening skills.
