Do you tap your toe to music without even realizing it? Preschoolers can move their entire bodies to music without even realizing it! Preschoolers thrive with music education. The use of music does not even need to be complicated for preschoolers to benefit from it. Here are three specific ways that preschoolers can benefit from music education:
-
Health Benefits
Experts say that preschoolers should get around sixty minutes of exercise per day. Thankfully, this ideal “quota” does not have to be done all in one setting. As preschoolers get the opportunity to enjoy music (mixed with movement), the preschoolers get the benefit of learning something new and exciting while also easily getting in some of the ideal exercise time. This makes for a win-win situation.
-
Bonding Time
While incorporating music, preschoolers get guaranteed bonding time with a variety of groups of people. While the children learn about music, they get the opportunity to bond with their caregivers. There is a trust factor for preschoolers to learn something engaging and then have the chance to creatively use their new-found knowledge in a fun and safe way. In music education, the preschoolers also get the opportunity to practice their music skills in a fun setting with their friends. Without even realizing it, the children are practicing and having a fun time together, all wrapped in one!

Educational Benefits
An article on WebMD shows how music can help improve a child’s focus and self-control, among other things. Also, cognitive skills can be enhanced from music lessons. The article specifically states that these good results are especially true when children are under prolonged music instruction (not just for the short-term).
Music education can be varied and have different purposes. In the long-run, though, there are great benefits for preschoolers to be in consistent music education.
