About

Music helps a brain develop. Music can play a special role in development. Music influences the auditory impulses which structures the way we learn to communicate. As music stimulates the brain, the emotions and the body simultaneously, it is a rich nutrient for developing speech, movement and expression.

Though music is not a cure all, it has many miraculous properties especially in relation to stress and pain. Music is a movement with participation and flowing with activity. It creates stimulation or deep relaxation and is especially useful at naptime, bedtime and creative play time.

In the elementary years, playing a musical instrument and practising music assists in the overall development of the speech, language and math perception. Rhythm instruments are best in pre-school years, together with singing. The earlier you start the better, but keep in mind: never force an instrument.
