Every child likes music. Whether they experience it at home, school, or in other environments, music helps everyone feel good. It livens atmospheres and can help bring comfort when needed. And it can even help advance a child’s motor skills and literacy.

Let’s go over the benefits of musical activities at daycare.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is your brain’s ability to understand what it hears. When you’re a child, your brain needs to learn how to process sounds. Your brain has to distinguish between them and manipulate them. Listening to music or participating in musical activities helps your brain develop its auditory perception. And, it doesn’t require much effort besides turning on a media player!

Develop Motor Skills

Musical activities may involve some sort of instrument. These can be a big hit with children who want to engage in making sounds and music. Playing with instruments helps children develop their motor skills. They will be using their fine and gross motor skills during the activity. Coordination is also a big part of musical activities whether it be playing an instrument or dancing.

Self-Expression

Music allows you to let go of your insecurities and be yourself. It can encourage you and help build your confidence. But, it can also be a form of self-expression. You can showcase your personality through the music you enjoy and connect with others who enjoy music too. It is important for children to engage in musical activities to help them develop a sense of self and grow as a creative.

Memory Skills

The majority of people will have that one song they can sing flawlessly. Whether it’s your favourite song or one you listened to as a kid, it is easy to memorize those lyrics. For children, this helps advance their memorization skills. This can come in handy later on when they need to memorize notes for a test!
