Beyond Twinkle, Twinkle: Using Music with Infants and Toddlers

CALIFORNIA CHRONICLE - April 2, 2010
(find the full story at http://www.californiachronicle.com/articles/yb/143158776?lnkname=art_17)


It is nap time, and 2 1/2-year-old Benjamin wriggles on his cot, trying to get comfortable.   "Sing my song," he says.   His teacher slowly starts to sing a song she made up several months ago, just for Benjamin.   "Who loves Benjamin?   It's his mommy and daddy.   Who loves Benjamin?   It's big sister Madison.   Who loves Benjamin?   It's Ms.   Sharlene.   Who loves Benjamin?   It's Miss Callie."   His teacher sings the names of many of the people in Benjamin's life who love him.   She watches Benjamin curl under his blanket, his eyes heavy with sleep.

Bilateral coordination or crossing the midline.   Bilateral coordination is the ability to use both sides of the body together, like when climbing stairs or playing a piano.   This skill requires both sides of the brain to communicate to coordinate the body's movements.

If you ask which area of development music impacts the most, the majority of people will mention language skills.   In fact, music activates literacy and language learning in many ways.

Spoken language.   Music gives children an easy-to-enter window into practicing language and deciphering meaning.   Modifying the words in well-known songs (such as singing "Happy lunchtime to you!")   or asking older toddlers to fill in the blanks in singing (for example, "[Dante] had a little [fish], whose fins were bright and orange") encourages children to practice logical thinking and reasoning skills.

Music plays a powerful role in the lives of young children.   Through music, babies and toddlers can come to better understand themselves and their feelings, learn to decipher patterns and solve problems, and discover the world around them in rich, complex ways.   Most important, sharing music experiences with the people they love makes very young children feel cherished and important - to paraphrase the well-known advertisement: "The cost of an egg shaker?   $4.   The cost of a parachute?   $50.   Using music activities to enrich the lives of babies and toddlers?   Priceless!"


If you ever been to a Kindermusik class with your child this sounds familiar. If you like to experience one of our classes contact info@kindermusik-germany.com. We will connect you with an educator near you.

Time Invested In Practicing Pays Off For Young Musicians, Research Shows

ScienceDaily (2008-11-05) -- A new study has found that children who study a musical instrument for at least three years outperform children with no instrumental training -- not only in tests of auditory discrimination and finger dexterity (skills honed by the study of a musical instrument), but also on tests measuring verbal ability and visual pattern completion (skills not normally associated with music).
