There are so many things to think about (read: worry about?!) with young kids: Language development, social and emotional intelligence, executive functioning, creative abilities and freedom of expression—the list goes on. Gross and fine motor skills are one of these super important developmental markers, and they start kicking in right away: from a baby lifting their head, to rolling over, to crawling, all the way to riding a bicycle, playing the piano, and filling in a bubble on a standardized test. Children grow into many of these organically; however, there are specific ways that you as a p ..read more

The Necessity of Music for Kids Today

By now, it’s pretty much common knowledge that music has numerous benefits on child development: From language and motor skills to executive functioning, math aptitude, literacy, and focus, music is an incredible brain enhancer for kids (and adults!). But beyond IQ-boosting, music is also an important source of stress-relief and self-expression; music can be an agent of calm in the roiling sea of childhood and adolescence—especially today, in our ultra-stressful moment of pandemic limbo, global war and hostility, uncertainty of America’s future, and increasing isolation and retreat into techno ..read more

The Benefits of Music on Teens

Adolescence is hard. Raging hormones, changing bodies, ever-shifting social dynamics, harder school work, the pressure of college looming a few years away. You might have blocked out your teenage years, but if you haven’t—or if you happen to have saved a middle or high school journal—you’ll remember (or discover with a mix of horror and nostalgia, as the case may be) that you were probably a mess of emotions, everything in the world seemingly hinging on whether you got into a certain club, or got asked to a dance, or got a good grade. These ups and downs have only been exacerbated during the e ..read more

The Benefits of Music on Big Kids (Also Known as Elementary School Kids)
Musication | Children's Music Lessons and Camps Blog
by MusicAdmin

Our previous posts in the “Benefits of Music” series have detailed the astonishing effects of music on infants, toddlers, and even babies still in the womb. But unlike some other activities, music continues to be incredibly beneficial on kids as they get older, too—and even as they turn from kids into adults! While it’s important to incorporate music into the lives of your toddlers and infants, it’s just as important to ensure that your second grader keeps up their violin lessons, or keeps going to choir, or writes songs for their band with their friends (all via Zoom for the moment). These ac ..read more

The Benefits of Music: On Toddlers

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’ve been to a music class for toddlers—or two or three. Baby music classes are near universal. And their popularity lies not only in the fact that they’re just literally something to do—for parent and baby—a way to get out of the house, connect with other parents, give your baby another face to look at; their benefits are also backed by science. But even if baby music classes are not your thing, incorporating music into your child’s life is probably second-nature—something you didn’t even need to think about, but that you automatically do a ..read more

The Benefits of Music on Newborns

In our first post in the “Benefits of Music” series, we focused on the benefits of music on babies still in the womb. In that article, we pointed to research that shows that exposure to music in the womb can enhance auditory processing, spatial learning, and even set the stage for language acquisition. And these benefits just keep on coming as your baby grows and moves outside the womb in the wide world of infanthood. The most impressive area of development that music can affect is speech. Language is all about patterns—patterns of letters, patterns of sounds, patterns of words. While it’s so ..read more

The Benefits of Music in the Womb

As we continue through this new series, “The Benefits of Music from Baby to Big Kid,” you’ll discover how music boosts everything from memory and language skills to social cohesion. But what about before your child is even born? Can music actually get inside the womb and work its magic there? The answer is, resoundingly (pun intended), yes! Research has shown that at around the 16th to 18th week of pregnancy, your baby hears their very first sound, and by 24 weeks, their ears are developing rapidly. From then on, unborn babies are more and more attentive to sounds, turning their heads in respo ..read more

Whether you’ll be outdoor-schooling, pod-schooling, home-schooling, or regular indoor-schooling, your kids will likely be at home more than they usually are this fall. All those extracurricular activities that have been called off or playdates with people outside your pod that you won’t be doing, all the playgrounds and children’s museums you won’t be going to—it all adds up to a whole lot of time spent at the homestead.
