"The Role of Music...."

Here is this weeks brain food! I ALWAYS love posting articles that encourage using music to help build brain development. It's short and sweet, which I like, and it even uses some concepts from our recent Kindermusik class: sing to and with baby/child. They like it, even if they claim they don't.


Here's the article:
It's well written and easy to follow! I hope you enjoy it!

It uses the term "spatial reasoning." For those of you who aren't a brain geek like me, here's what it means: the type of reasoning used to identify and manipulate images and pieces of images. Architects are famous for having advanced spatial abilities! A puzzle is a perfect example of this, and for babies, the concept of "square to square, and circle to circle" is the first step to acquiring this.


Musically yours!



PS -I like the section that encourages you to start music lessons early! Score one for the KM team!
