Millions of brain neurons become alive when stimulated and connect with other neurons. These connections form pathways for knowledge, allow greater thinking to take place and heighten physical and motor development. Experiences that awaken neurons and help them to connect with others help the brain to grow and develop.
As children listen to music, neurons are firing and connecting. Singing songs, creating music and dancing to music strengthen other areas of the brain.
Many people think that one type of music is better than others. Although some believe that different types of music enhance different areas of the brain, the best thing for you to do is to expose your children to a variety of music and have him participate in musical activities. All types of music help with brain development.
As the brain develops, the body develops. Listening to music, singing along, creating music and dancing to music not only enhance brain connections, but also helps children increase their motor skills, learn how to move and get their bodies working. Each time children are exposed to music, it is helps their development in some way.
The more music a child has in her life in early childhood, the more her brain will develop. The more her brain develops, the stronger her body and all areas of her life will become. Therefore, expose your children to as much music as possible.
