23.01.2022 "Singing is a gymnasium for a child's body and soul. Singing works deeply into our children's physiology: deepening breath and heart rate, altering brain wave p...atterns and strengthening the immune system. It also releases endorphins, the body's pleasure hormones, into the brain and body.... Singing can also help to build a child's confidence and self- esteem and can increase their capacity for self- expression" -Kytka Hilmar-Jezek PHD See more

22.01.2022 We'd like to shout this from the rooftops, but instead, we will share it here and hope you share it on as well... 10 Reasons the School Curriculum Needs Music!

21.01.2022 New research shows regular informal music-making with very young children may have benefits above and beyond those of reading. And it doesn't have to cost you a cent.

17.01.2022 This photo shows Musical Play What is the purpose of teaching babies and young children music? It is to grow a nation of orchestra players and future musician...s and talent quest winners? No Developing children’s musicality is about honouring the part of us that exists and needs to be nurtured. Some will go on to become wonderful musicians in their own way- others won’t. But laying that foundation of music for life is about more than just music for music sake. It is about growing brains that are creative and responsive. It is about developing a steady sense of beat and pattern- these things are important for all kinds of human activity from speech to sports! It is about developing people who listen deeply and sensitively. It is about building connections between people- whether that’s parent and child or complete strangers. It is about fostering a love of music that will be there for life- through heartaches, joys, life and loss. It is about taking music away from being for those who are musical or talented and giving it back to everyone. What this photo shows is a 3yr olds response to helping to put the cutlery away. He lined the spoons up in size and sang 1 2 3 4 5 up the scale using them as a keyboard, then back down again. He saw the music where his mum saw the dishes! Music shouldn’t just happen in one teaching context. It is part of life- seeing the possibilities all around us is where that little spark of creativity is so beautifully evident in small children. Like in the spoon drawer!

04.01.2022 We must make sure, as parents, educators, caregivers, therapists and interested parties that we never forget the basics when it comes to nurturing our children’...s mental health. There will always be new tools and ideas, and some will prove very valuable, but we should not let go of the well researched and time proven effects of music and play. It pays to check in: How often do we have children sing together? How often does truly joyful music making (without the rush!) happen? How often are children free to create and explore music and build on their creations? Schools and preschools that really value this do a wonderful job of bringing children together musically. It is known that it has a hugely beneficial affect and should be absolutely encouraged and championed in schools (& homes!!). It needs us to advocate because it is one vital component of childhood that is so often easily overlooked despite the evidence and the joy it brings. It is not merely for fun, it is not just to fill a gap or tick a curriculum box. Music making, singing together and creating are fundamental aspects of childhood that we should value and demand. Let the children sing! See more
