CHILDHOOD MUSICAL CORNER:
BENEFITS OF MUSIC &
MOVEMENT: THE EXPERTS' PERSPECTIVE.
"Music is vital to life." at least everybody says that... Well, Today on our Childhood Musical Corner, is five experts' views on the benefits of music and movement:
1. JUDI BOSCO, Board Certified Music Therapist.
"Music brings people together. Through music,
children take an inner experience and move it into a shared creative experience. Group music-making
releases energy which can be channeled in creative,
productive directions. Children learn about
themselves and others by playing music together and
by listening to each other — tapping into hidden
courage that can be played out by singing together or
discovering the inner resources to listen quietly to
another child's playing."
2. DEE JOY COULTER, Ed.D. Neuroscience Educator.
"Resiliency — to bounce back after a disturbing event
— is not something we are born with; it must be
learned and sometimes that takes many years. There
is no vehicle more joyful and playful for providing
such training than early childhood music and
movement."
3. PAUL MADUALE, Founder and Director, The Listening Center.
"A rich voice opens the ear and gives energy to the
nervous system. Not only does it help children
process and memorize the message, but it also
increases their desire to listen more, learn more, and
know more. A good voice fills the cognitive and
emotional brain."
4. SUSAN HALLAM, Institute Of Education, University of London.
"Speech and music have a number of shared
processing systems. Musical experiences which
enhance processing can therefore impact on the
perception of language which in turn impacts on
learning to read."
5. JANE HEALY:
Noted author and neuroscience educator Jane
Healy speaks about children whose parents have
chosen more "academic" pursuits for their
children:
"Studies show that 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds in heavily
"academic" classes tend to become less creative and
more anxious - without gaining significant
advantages over their peers."
"we hold that music is the most sublime arrangements of sounds in a manner that pleases the ears, entertains by MUSE, feeds love, feeds the soul and glorifies God." -ReHearsal House philosophy of music.
