The Power of Early Music!

by Mrs. Denie Riggs

Music is power. Music has power in your life and mine, but not as great as in the life of your baby and toddler.

Very young children have neural synapses in their brain, seeking paths to wire.  Research indicates that nothing enhances the advanced wiring in a child’s brain like active participation with MUSIC!!!

Active musical participation changes everything about your toddler’s development.  When your toddler engages with musical activities, all parts of their brain are engaged. The resulting stimulation actually wires their brains differently creating enriched development which remains for the rest of their life.

Some of the benefits include enhanced reasoning skills (required for chess and engineering), enhanced academics especially in the areas of math, reading and science which lend toward better chances for academic scholarships. Enhanced physical coordination is also an amazing benefit, as well as enhanced social interaction and confidence. The benefit list goes on and on with each benefit being amazing and life changing.

Here are some other things you might want to know:

Natural Rhythm: Natural rhythm, the ability to feel the beat and move to music, is a God-given gift every person possesses at birth. This attribute is developed by exposure to rhythmic activities during childhood.  Around ages 6-7, this natural rhythm window closes and it is very difficult for an older person to feel the beat.

Ear-Training: Children exposed to singing and matching pitch very early have good ear training for the rest of their life. Children not surrounded in a musical environment in their early preschool years, may become tone-deaf (unable to hear, sing and match pitch).

Active Participation: Music research studies indicate that active involvement with music wires a child’s sensory system, resulting in enhanced language, communication and perceptual skills. Active participation includes thumping, clapping tapping, beating with egg shakers, maracas, drums, etc.

Christian Worship: It is well known and documented that what you expose a child to in their early years will remain with them forever. We have been teaching toddlers and preschoolers to be worshipping musicians for years; and we have taught thousands of them!

Our program was established on Psalm 8:2, which Jesus quoted as saying “Out of the mouth of babes and un-weaned infants, You have perfected praise! (Matthew 21: 16)”. The remainder of Psalm 8 has to do with living in authority. What a foundation for your child!

The Research:

Researchers indicate that babies are enhanced by active participation musical activities beyond any other activity they can be involved in. The enhanced wiring developed by participation in active musical participation lasts for the rest of their life!
