![]() Teach Your Child to Sing & Appreciate MusicEducational and neurological researchers have studied the affects of music on the development of young children. Needless to say, the benefits it has created in early learning give a significant advantage to those children who are introduced to music and singing at a young age. In fact, studies have shown a sufficient increase in mathematical abilities, social skills, memory, literacy, and general intelligence in those children who take music lessons (whether that is singing lessons or a specific instrument) on a regular basis. There is no doubt that music consistently plays a significant role in a child’s mind, especially with the findings at the Rotman Research Institute. Their research concluded, after a year of following six children with no musical training and six children who were just beginning to study music, that after a period of only four months the children studying music had increased developmental changes. You can read the entire article, *Researchers find first evidence that musical training affects brain development in young children over the course of a years, in the resources section of the article. Parents don’t have to be musically inclined to teach their own children how to sing, the important thing is to introduce the concept to your children as early as you can. Even as young as infancy can greatly benefit children as they grow learn and develop. A way to do this is to simply place a CD player in your child’s room with soft instrumental music, such as the works of Mozart, Beethoven or Chopin. As well as simply singing to your baby can be a great way to increase their brain waves, introduce the musical experience, and connect with your growing child. Preschool When teaching your child to sing at this level, allow their sound to come out without pushing anything. Teach them easy songs that you can harmonize together such as, the ABC’s, Mary had a little lamb, you are my sunshine, Row, Row, Row your boat, and a variety of other nursery rhythms and children’s songs. Try to keep them short, but fun. Have fun singing those tunes together. Main points to address:
