‘If music be the food of love, play on,’ said the bard. Did you know that we respond to music even before we are born? Babies can recognize and are soothed by music starting from when they are still in the womb. Our life is full of songs for every occasion. But music and songs are not just for fun and entertainment – as music also plays a role in learning and brain development in early childhood.
According to experts,
there are multiple benefits of music education for young children. Research shows that music education improves vocabulary and reading comprehension skills, strengthens hand-eye coordination, develops powerful study habits, helps learn teamwork, and increases problem-solving ability. Music also helps kids be good listeners and react with a better understanding of other people’s emotions.
