“We need to ensure that our children have both knowledge and imagination. I know I want that for my girls. They deserve to have access to a good education and access to ideas and images that will spark their creativity.”
-First Lady Michelle Obama

“An educational foundation is only part of the equation. In order for creativity to flourish and imagination to take hold, we also need to expose our children to the arts from a very young age.”

Long term impact of music-making activities of pre-school aged children

I wanted to share this article with you as it highlights many of the long term benefits of attending a Kindermusik class.

The National Literacy Trust explores the impact of musical activities on the development of pre-school age children. Research project commissioned by Youth Music.


One of the objectives of this research is to learn about the impact that music-making activities have in the development of pre-school aged children in the long run.

Here are a few of their findings:

♫ It's easier for children to remember long sentences when these are learned accompanied by music.
♫ Children acquire an increased vocabulary; they learn new words, as well as action (wiggle, shake, stomp) and positional vocabulary (over, under, inside, outside) by learning new songs.
♫ Children acquire a better understanding of rhyming words by singing songs with words that rhyme.
♫ Children learn to actively listen and respond to instructions when in connection with musical activities.
♫ They learn to take turns and understand how conversations work by practicing "call and response" activities.
♫ Children acquire an increased ability of telling their own stories by creatively creating their own songs.

In addition to all these benefits, Kindermusik also allows for socialization for both children and parents.
Kindermusik classes are especially important for those who will not be enrolling their children in a pre-school. Kindermusik classes provide children with an opportunity to participate in a structured classroom environment and learn to follow directions, which are essential skills for an easy transition from home to school.
