MUSIC and LEARNING : |
Go to Top
What is so magical about music ? Why is it so powerful ?
Responding to music comes naturally to young children.
Babies mimic our speech patterns with babbles and snuggle into our bodies when we sing to them.
Toddlers enjoy music as a wonderful outlet for movement, communication, creativity and socialisation.
Many can remember words to songs not heard for years once the music plays.
Plato : Music is a moral law, it gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination,
. . . . . . and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.
MUSIC & LEARNING, a duet where music provides :
* Repetition that reinforces learning
* A rhythmic beat that helps coordination
* Patterns that help in anticipating what comes next
* Melodies that capture our attention and hearts in enjoyment
* Words that are the building blocks of language and literacy
* Its not that smart kids play music but music makes kids smarter
MUSIC SUPPORTS DEVELOPING SKILLS, it can :
* Build and strengthen identity, self-esteem, relationships, communicate feelings and provide comfort
* Help toddlers express, share, make friends and feel comfortable in a group
* Foster language and speech development through stories, rhyming and rythm
* Develop individuality in discovering your own sounds & styles of music
* Launch creativity by filling in missing words and making up songs
* Develop muscles by finger plays, dancing and playing instruments
* Build coordination by following a beat and using minds, voices and bodies together
* Music adds to our quality of life and provides a creative form of expression
* Direct and positive effect on learning skills and helps develop confidence
MUSIC IS :
* Universal, a reflection of the world around us and the people making it
* All around you, rain falling, birds chirping, traffic hum, even conversation
* You ! Create your own with your voice, hand clapping, feet stomping
* Discovery, there is no right or wrong way
* Fun and meaningful for everybody
* Therapeutic as a sing-a-long will quickly demonstrate and sooth disabled or other frustrations
* Involves and integrates an enormous range of abilities, stimulating the mind, body and spirit
* Relaxing and Essential. Enjoy !
* On a broader level, music builds social capital by enriching entire communities
* Link : Making Music Being Well. Activities about the therapeutic and recreational benefits of being musically active.
* Link : Australian Music Therapy Assoc..
MUSIC MAKING IN AUSTRALIA FACTS :
* Most Australians are not active music-makers.
* Research shows that 75% of Australians say they would love to be involved in music-
. making but aren't, partly because they perceive music as a gift
* Only one in three Australian households has someone who makes music, compared
. with one in two US households and even higher proportion in many European countries
* There are an estimated 5.5 million LAPSED players in Australia – people who used to
. play a musical instrument but now don't
* In the same research, 87% of respondents agreed that music education should be
. mandated by States to ensure every child has an opportunity to study music in school.
AN ENTERTAINMENT GROUP, 8 ingredients for the 'perfect package', from an external authority.
1. Timing
2. Luck (unfortunately, you can't do much about these first two...)
3. The Song - deemed the most important element. It should inspire reaction (elation, dance, cry, feel romantic, etc)
4. Vocal performance - the human ear connects with the voice first
5. Instrumental performance - thought of as the most over-rated, unless it's a distinctive part of your sound
6. Visual image - every act needs a strong identity
7. Your ‘Story' - you need a narrative, which gives you a point of difference
8. Attitude / work ethic - people who are the best are always trying to be better
Test Drive The Arts
