Music is enjoyable, but did you know it can help in your preschooler\u2019s development?\u00a0 Music can increase cognitive, motor, and coordination skills, as well as help your preschooler acquire language and math skills. \u00a0Here are three ways preschoolers benefit from music education:<\/span><\/p>\n

Motor Skills and Coordination<\/span><\/h4>\n

Playing an instrument requires hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, and focus.\u00a0 Your little one will improve his fine motor skills through using the small muscles in his hands and arms to play an instrument and control the movements to play the proper tunes and beats.\u00a0 Playing the proper beats and notes at the right time also requires focus, which is a skill most young children can benefit from extra practice.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Spatial Awareness<\/span><\/h4>\n

Spatial awareness is the skill of knowing where objects are within a space and your body\u2019s position in relationship to those objects.\u00a0 Playing music requires you to know where your body is in relation to the instrument.\u00a0 Moving or dancing to music requires you to know where your body is in relation to objects and others around you.\u00a0 For more on spatial awareness and why it is important, visit this <\/span>article<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cognitive Skills<\/span><\/h4>\n

Music can aid in developing cognitive skills, as well.\u00a0 <\/span>This<\/span><\/a> article from Psychology Today explains how music increases brain function.\u00a0 It states music instruction prior to age seven can help build and strengthen communication between different parts of the brain, which your preschooler will benefit from for a lifetime.\u00a0 In addition to brain development, music is helpful in memorization.\u00a0 Putting something to music or at least a rhythm helps our brains remember it easier.\u00a0 For example, how many of us sing the alphabet song in our heads when tasked with alphabetizing words?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Grab some rhythm sticks (paint stirrers or a couple wooden spoons work great) or an empty box to use as a drum and invite your little one to keep a beat while listening to some music.\u00a0 She\u2019ll have fun and will be building lots of new skills!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
