Everyone is Born Musical – Music for Young Children Program

Everyone is born musical. Children learn most things through play so it is important to communicate advanced musical activities through fun games. Active music making helps children acquire mental, physical and social skills needed for future intelligence and well-being.

Parents need to encourage their children but not be pushy. And remember too much choice can distress children so limit after school activities to two or three.

University of East London researchers found children who maintained interest in playing an instrument had:
● started at an early age
● had a great deal of parental support
Music can build confidence – especially in Music for Young Children’s group lessons – children are interacting with others. It can have dramatic positive effects on a child’s self-esteem by enforcing a sense of personal identity. Music can be used as a tool for building leadership skills by putting children in positions of creative control and giving them reasons to play, negotiate and work together.
Children given the chance to play with creative ideas will advance their social skills. Their sense of self-esteem will be stronger and their understanding that they are naturally creative will stay with them all their life as a positive influence.

Celebrating its 31st anniversary, Music for Young Children has been among the world’s leading music-learning systems. Children start at ages 3-10 years in group keyboard lessons. The classes are highly structured and follow a carefully worked-out series of increasing complexities.

The hour-long classes include rhythm ensembles, singing, ear-training, sight-reading, note-reading, theory and composing techniques.
