Children's songs are one of the best methods for brain stimulation of the little ones. And the fact is that children's music is the most complete option to enhance the intellectual, sensory, linguistic, motor and auditory development of children.
At Logos Nursery, a nursery school located in Las Rozas de Madrid, we use songs with our youngest students to add benefits to their overall learning process, which is very important in the integral development of children. And we work it all through our Music and Movement Project.
Benefits of children's music for children
As we have said before, children's music has many benefits that are part of the overall development of the child, but, in addition:
- Stimulates their creativity: when humming or singing the songs, children are able to use their imagination to recreate each musical phrase in their minds.
- Helps their motor development: by dancing and trying to follow the rhythm, students promote their logical-mathematical development.
- Improves their concentration: especially for children who have difficulty concentrating, melodies are ideal to help them in this regard.
What do they contribute at this stage?
Aside from its many benefits, children's music helps children acquire habits on how to maintain good hygiene, how to dress themselves, brush their teeth and much more.
Music not only helps the development and teaching of children, but also benefits their emotional intelligence. With the messages conveyed by the songs, children are able to relax, entertain themselves and block their negative emotions.
