For me music ignites all area of child development and skills for school readiness, including intellectual, motor, language, social-emotional and overall literacy. It helps the body and mind to work together. Dancing to songs during gumboots dance helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self- expression. Counting stomps and clapping is interacting with mathematics. Sing songs improves your speech and language development.
Body percussion: It is producing sounds by using your body, through hand clapping, thigh-slapping, stomping, finger-snapping, inhaled and exhaled air. Traditionally the four main body percussion sounds: 1. Stomp: Striking left, right, or both feet against the floor or other resonant surface 2. Patsch: Patting either the left, right, or both thighs with hands; or patting cheeks 3. Clapping hands together 4. Snapping fingers
These activities also provide opportunities to foster learners’ concentration skills, creativity and improvisational skills as they can create their own body percussion patterns and write them down using iconic notation
coordination, balance and visual-spatial awareness. When learners are able to successfully participate in body percussion activities, they experience personal development by gaining confidence, becoming self-aware, experiencing a sense of achievement, pride and learning discipline

1. Vygotsky's development theory draws attention the the socio-culture factors that influence cognitive development and emphasises the importance of social interaction and language development.
2. Erikson's stages of psychosocial developmental theory specifically draws focus to the influence of social interaction and relationships on learning. Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasises the notion that children learn by interacting with the world and that they build new knowlegde based on existing skills and prior knowledge. Stages Pre-operational stage. Concrete operational stage This is also the motivation for not placing emphasis on music notation in the LSKM 221 module. Co-operative and discovery learning is also an integral part of Vygotsky learning theories and motivates the importance of designing teaching and learning activities during which learners can discover content and skills and working with peers in social contexts ( Skunk, 2016; Slavin, 2016).

4 Many experts in the field of child development agree that learning how to play music is as important. Learning music stimulates a child's cognitive development (information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, language learning), motor skills and has a full-throttle effect on the entire brain.

5. Research shows that exposure to music can also improve children's ability to learn. Music and movement instruction has been shown to improve children's memory, cognitive development, learning skills and expressive ability.02 Feb 2017

Example in Maths clapping hands 3x makes a rhythm, Stamping you feet 4 x Counting out loud.
6 Various educational implications of Erikson's theory are possible depending upon the age group of the learner and the tasks they are expected to perform. For example, Allowing the child to play with various natural, simple materials, and role-playing for the expression of fantasy and imagination.The educational implication of Piaget's theory is the adaptation of instruction to the learner's development level. It is important that the content of instruction needs to be consistent with the developmental level of the learner. A contemporary educational application of Vygotsky's theory is "reciprocal teaching," used to improve students' ability to learn from text. In this method, teachers and students collaborate in learning and practicing four key skills: summarizing, questioning, clarifying, and predicting.
