Parents, this website is for you, so please send feedback. Let me know what you would like to see and how we can work together to make your child's musical experiences the best!!
Is there a story behind the interesting website
http://www.musiclearningforkids.com/ you might ask? Well my answer to you is a resounding
Yes! Yes! Yes! Having spent most of my life
teaching music and/or education to young children I finally came to terms with the fact that I needed to combine my two loves of teaching, and essentially developed the
first music curriculum that is based entirely on the research study that predicts a 90th-99th percentile score in mathematics for pre-school children.
Both my children attended an amazing school close to home, while continuously exposed to daily music and education, simply by inheriting me as their mother. Some of our most precious memories originated from those wonderful years and there is no doubt that these experiences paved the way for their future successes in life. Both children have always demonstrated creative thinking and problem solving skills which I believe will assist in their future endeavours.
Music engages the child physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially. An interesting article in Parents Magazine describes a learning through the arts class as:
"For example, the class is gathered at one end of the gym and the children are walking around in a tight little clump beating time to a deliberate drumbeat. Suddenly the beat quickens and the children begin to spread out across the gym. What are they studying? Energy transfer! The students are water molecules being heated up by a uranium bundle in a nuclear power plant. (When water is heated, each molecule moves more quickly and further apart from the others, - a change in movement which was signaled by the drum). Later in the lesson the children shuffle along the floor, representing electrons moving along power lines. Then they pretend to be atoms joining together and breaking apart, and chant a rap about the pros and cons of various energy sources - all of this while engaging in musical accompaniment." Hoffman (2003).
Mozart & the Young Mind provides opportunities for children to pay attention to relationships, work on creative thinking, problem solving, risk-taking, teamwork and communication - precisely the tools the workforce of tomorrow will need. Mozart & the Young Mind encourages our children to master these skills through quality education today in preparation to succeed in their highly competitive business careers tomorrow?
