Why Kids Music Day is Important

A

It encourages creativity

Music is one of the best ways to foster creativity and encourage kids to explore their imaginations. Listening to music and singing along can help your child express themselves in meaningful ways, while providing them with an outlet for their emotions.

B

It helps teach language & literacy skills

Musical activities often involve songs or nursery rhymes that include repetition, which can help children develop their language and literacy skills. Music also allows children to practice rhyming, memorization and other important skills that will help them throughout school.

C

It's fun!

Music is a great way to have fun with your little ones. Playing instruments together, singing silly songs, dancing around - all of these activities are not only enjoyable but can help create special memories that will last a lifetime!
