Positive Effects of Classical Music for Children

December 12th, 2010
Classical Music

Will we ever get over the love for nursery rhymes? Probably never, the reason being, these are our first introduction to learning and our first ever association with music. The effect it has on our mind and psychology can never be denied. We always notice a crying baby can go off to a peaceful slumber with the sweet lullaby of a mother. At the same time, we see them clapping and tossing heads while listening to a cheerful number. When we need to teach kids numbers or alphabets, a simple made up song always makes the kids learn faster. There are many such examples that we can give to prove this effect on kids.

Also, there has been extensive research on the subject of the connection between music and psychology. Talking about classical music and its effect on the mind of a kid, one can never overlook the Mozart Effect. Research says that Mozart’s compositions positively affect the performance of kids by working on their sense of spatial-temporal reasoning. Exposing kids to classical compositions can help them grow intellectually stronger and smarter. This is the reason why songs for children are composed specially to please their ears and make them develop love for them.

Works Wonders on the Brain

Many schools go beyond the regular curriculum and design lessons on classical music for children. It is more complex in nature and its highly structured notes have varied effects on the brain. At the same time, as children love lighter and brighter notes, kids music can be composed to suit their cheerful moods. Musical compositions played from pianos or flutes are more refined and have better effect on the brain.

It is no easy task to find a teaching technique that can truly change the course of a child with special needs. Thirty years ago, when Janet Tubbs began working with children who had low self-esteem and behavioral problems, she developed a successful program using art, music, and movement.

Autistic Music Therapy – The Benefits of Music and Music Therapy For Children With Special Needs

July 10th, 2010

Autistic Music Therapy

Music can be a motivating and fun way to teach all children and in particular children who suffer special learning needs. It is unquestionable the present through the medium of music many essential and enabling livlihood skills can be learned and the benefits so playing and learning music can have on a simple growth and development are immeasurable. Autistic Music Therapy

All children have the same need to express themselves and playing a musical instrument can provide an outlet for creative and emotional expression. When we think of music we don’t often think of it as therapy. But it can be. The playing of good quality percussion instruments during music therapy sessions can be of inestimable value for children who have difficulties in hearing, seeing, moving, thinking or responding; each can experience the music in their own unique way. The music is not the goal of music therapy. Autistic Music Therapy

Cognitive stimulation, self-expression, self-awareness, or increased motor movements are some of the goals that music therapy can focus on and the music itself is simply a tool to achieve these goals. Listening to music for enjoyment is very beneficial but active participation is even better. For children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, playing music may be an effective way to stimulate speech development and communication skills, express emotions, develop a sense of rhythm and provide opportunity for physical, cognitive and motor development whilst creating an environment for socialisation and fun.
