Holistic development and learning through music means that rhymes and rhythm activate various mental functions in kids at once. For example, kids instinctively move to the beats of music, activating their motor neurons. Some musical beats make them happy, triggering the brain’s emotional response. Music is a part of almost everyone’s daily lives. Nature has its very own music as well. Maybe this daily exposure is the reason why parents instinctively hum and sing different tunes and songs to their kids. Infants and toddlers find music to be soothing. Since the beginning of time, mothers have sung lullabies to their babies to calm them down. This strong effect of music is found not only in infants but children of all ages.

1. Improve lingual abilities
