Music and Brain development
Music plays an important role during the infant toddler years. Music is used for a to develop a number of skills for this post I will discuss a few : Memory skills are very important it is a section of the brain. It is important to play music for infants/toddlers with clear speech and slow beats. Music helps with language skills also . Once you play the same songs over time the infant/toddler will begin to know which song comes next. She will also sing along with the songs. It is important to play songs with directions "Five Little Monkeys" and the Wheels on The Bus and many others. The ability to listen and follow directions is a skill that a child needs for school.
