Young Child 2

Week 6:

As the children participate in various activities focused on the song “Bell Horses,” they are developing their musical memory. They soon will be extremely familiar with this song’s melodic content, rhythmic content, lyrics, and visual content as applied to the glockenspiel.

It is interesting to note that while developing musical memory, children also are enhancing general memory skills and abilities. Studies indicate that music facilitates verbal memory and that memory is usually increased when music is involved. “Music and learning are powerful allies,” and your child’s participation in Kindermusik each week allows him to reap the benefits of this alliance!
