#parent-child education# Introduction The connection between babies and music is so subtle and magical. When I was taking music classes in early education centers, there were many babies who loved music like Xiaomi Li. They will twist when they hear music, pick up musical instruments to play when they see them, and they will also be happy or sad according to the melody of the music... So, below, I will give you an in-depth introduction to the benefits of music education for three-year-old children. Welcome focus on.

The British playwright Congreve once said, "The charm of music can soothe the mind, soften the stubborn stone, and make the thousand-year-old tree bend down." Babies have soft hearts and rich emotions, and can keenly capture the rhythm and inner emotions of music, because babies have innate musical talent.

However, as the age increases, the subtle and magical connection between babies and music will gradually weaken, and more and more noise and noise will replace the beautiful music.

Music is the key to beauty. It not only affects the baby's artistic aesthetics, but also has a profound impact on the baby's attention, memory, creativity, social emotions, language development, and even mathematical thinking.

Music and Attention

Studies have found that music seems to be closely related to the initial part of the brain. We will respond to musical input uncontrollably, so this is very important. The reason why young children also have innate feedback to the elements of music is that recent neuroscience research shows that stable beats affect human attention. The premotor cortex in the brain that processes stable beats is also related to attention. Relevant. Therefore, before the lower grades of primary school, teachers usually use music in their teaching strategies. For example, kindergarten and early education teachers will definitely use singing to develop activities.

Zentnerhe Eerola conducted such an experiment on 120 children between 5 and 24 months old, and found that they were more focused on stimulation with a stable beat than monotonous language stimulation. The results of this experiment show that when children are stimulated by a stable beat, they will show more concentration. Then when we play games or read with children, children's songs and raps will help their concentration.

Music and Memory

Music has a powerful impact on children’s memory. Studies have found that at 8 months, children can already respond to repeated music. This The time span can be as long as two weeks. Therefore, associating a fixed song at a fixed time in life will easily give the baby a sense of familiarity and security, such as the same lullaby sung by the mother before going to bed every day. This warm and perhaps not so perfect lullaby will last throughout a child's life. It represents mother's embrace.

Music and Creativity

Music is a kind of art, and art is naturally full of creativity. Beautiful music chapters will make children’s minds go further. There are many suitable for children to listen to. The symphony chapter, each note constitutes an interesting story. I recommend Saint-Sa?ns' "Carnival of the Animals" as a whole suite composed of fourteen songs. Orchestral music is used to express the life and image characteristics of animals. The powerful lion, the naive and nimble kangaroo, the slow turtle, the long roar of the donkey in the wilderness and the low voice of the cuckoo in the empty valley and forest... are all vividly portrayed. It is an imaginative work that captures the unique personality and habits of animals.

Music and Social Emotions

Each melody has its own emotion. Children can hear different emotions from the music. In the process of musical expression (singing, dancing, playing) Children feel confident and feel the impact they have on the world around them, thereby affirming themselves. Whether it is a parent-child music game or a music game between children, it will give children the opportunity to take turns, share, listen, and exercise their social skills.

Music and Teaching Thinking

A 2005 study on music and music therapy showed that early in a child’s life, music and math abilities are linked in brain development. Like some musical elements: steady beat rhythm melody speed related to the principles of mathematics: sense of space ordering counting patterns algebra etc. Music is a kind of mathematics, which combines various musical elements, whether simple or complex. For example, the most classic children's song "Little Star" has a musical structure in which the ending repeats the beginning. Using different rhythmic movements can clearly express the structure of the song.

Music and language development

Music is a kind of language. The earlier you are exposed to music, the faster your child’s language development will be.

Music has so many benefits, so don’t think that your children can’t understand music when they are young, and don’t miss out on your children’s early music learning just because parents don’t like music.
