Young Child 3

Week 14:

Inner speech, or the ability to think the words before speaking, is critical to the development of sequential thinking. The sequential thinking skill enables a person to think through a process step by step. The study of music facilitates the building of “inner speech” and strengthens the ability to think sequentially. The following music activities help build this foundation:

· Learning and remembering songs,

· Integrating gestures or movements with music,

· Playing rhythm patterns on instruments, and

· Integrating words, pitch, and rhythm.

These and many other beneficial activities take place each week in your child’s Kindermusik class. And through participation in Kindermusik, your child is building skills that will benefit him for a lifetime!
