Do you need music for your classroom? PDF Print E-mail

 

Are you a teacher or home schooler, looking for great early childhood music?

educational-musicMusic offers so many benefits for brain development, as shown in studies. Playing music does even more!

From NaturalNews: ...The paper, just published in Nature Reviews Neuroscience, is a compilation of research findings from scientists all over the world who used all kinds of research methods. The bottom line to all these studies: musical training has a profound impact on other skills including speech and language, memory and attention, and even the ability to convey emotions vocally.

It's sometimes recommended that children begin playing musicical instruments as early as age three or four, in order to instill the lessons while information is most easily recalled.

Not every family can afford music lessons and not every school offers music or band, thanks to budget cuts. During early childhood, however, we can, at the very least, offer plenty of music for children to listen to. They can memorize songs, dance around, giggle, laugh and build musical memories. Toss in a few homemade musical instruments and away you go!

If you are searching for affordable, age appropriate music for your classroom or home, stop by Kiboomu.com. The options include titles such as:

  • The Top 30 Preschool Songs
  • Learning Songs

  • Animal Nursery Rhymes
  • 150 Preschool Songs
  • Language Art Songs
  • Math Songs
  • Social Studies Songs
  • Holiday Tunes
  • Christian Songs

  • Spanish Songs

And many more songs for children!

Although the CD's and songs are currently selling at low rates, Kiboomu has a new subscription plan, launching soon with their re-vamped website. The subscription plan will allow teachers and parents to purchase songs for just pennies each.

Stay tuned!

I saw your announcement on Twitter & popped in for the first time. It's always great to see others weighing in on the value of music for children.

I'm in my 15th year as a 'music-lady' creating original songs that children really do join-in singing within the first exposure. Glad to meet you & looking forward to getting acquainted.

My blog is a journal of my travels working with teachers & parents to impact the children: get them up, moving and singing -- all in support of their literacy skills being developed!!
