Can children from infancy through kindergarten really grasp the concept of music theory and principles? Why expose a child to music at such an early age when there's so much time? If you've ever been around young children, you've probably noticed how they tend to try to skip rather than walk, dance rather than stroll, or sing when they're trying to drown out your instructions: The best argument for early childhood music education lies in the fact that children at this age, for the most part, are naturally receptive to the nuances of pitch and rhythm. Children at a young age are less inhibited that they might be after they enter elementary school. They are ready to jump right in and give it a go! There is no pressure for a fantastic performance. The toddlers and preschoolers are free to experiment all the wonders of sound without the "standard" judgment of a preconceived notion of proper performance. The physical benefits of early childhood music are outstanding, also. Fine and gross motor skills can be improved through improvisational dancing and handling of the instruments. Vocal and speech development can improve through singing. Listening skills and concentration improve with aural training. The old-fashioned goals of sharing and cooperation are reinforced with the sharing of instruments and encouragement of other students. And remember, it’s a lot of fun!
