Reading about the topic of Music Therapy recently, I was fully engaged in learning more about a colleague, Amber Bobnar of Boston Children's Music, and her son, Ivan. She lists the benefits of incorporating music with children:
Music can facilitate:
attention
recognition
communication
anticipation
fine and gross motor skills
social skills
patterning (such as counting or pre-reading skills)
fostering memories
self-esteem
Amber goes on to discuss why you might want to "bring more music into your home to help encourage your child's development."
This is a subject I am keenly interested in and want to learn and share more about. You can read more here at Amber's "Wonder Baby" site.
