One easy way is to find quality kid’s music they can fall in love with. It works every time. Learning something naturally is really the best way.

The Body

Did you know that the “listening” part of our brain is the first to grow and is fully functional at 20 weeks in utero? However, a human being has to wait more than 7 months after this before their eyes work. Nature obviously thinks listening is more important that seeing. This is interesting especially now that we live in a totally visually obsessed world.

Learning

There are electronic screens everywhere. Children like adults have different styles of learning – visual, auditory or kinesthetic. Not all are visual therefore if we expose them to good quality kid’s music they will be able to absorb this with whatever style is their strength.

Our Very Own Memory Stick

With each new kids song they hear, their brain will grow a memory stick to store this information. All the while they are using their auditory facility and all the while it’s being strengthened. With each new memory stick, their brain is growing bigger and more capable. Whether they use this for learning music or not, this memory stick is there fully functional for the rest of their lives.

Brain as a Computer

It’s not just the memory stick that the brain grows……using their most natural way of learning, each child gets a faster processor to go with it. Every parent knows that a computer is only as good as it’s memory and speed. More memory and more speed is what we pay for. What’s so amazing about our very own computers ie. Our brains, is that our memory capacity is unlimited.

Physical Sound

Music is one of the few things in this world, in fact the only thing we have that uses both sides of our brain. It goes through our emotions bypassing the intellect so you don’t have to be bright to benefit. Because sound is physical…..it penetrates our brains in an instant. What we get our children to listen to is crucial as this is stored and used for life.
