  1. For years, music teachers, parents, and childcare providers have intuitively recognized that music benefits children. Even a fetus in the womb responds to music stimulation in a measurable way. The fetus begins to respond to sound around the fifth month of pregnancy. When babies between the ages of four and six months hear music, they will move up and down. Even though the repetitive sounds are enticing them to go. Music, when combined with activity, aids in the physical development of the individual. Children's coordination improves, which aids muscle growth. As they run, balance, stretch, crawl, and skip, they begin to learn what their bodies are capable of. Make music a part of other subjects. You can include music with mathematics, reading, English, and life skills in your classroom. At first, incorporating music into the disciplines you are used to teaching may feel odd. The more you do it, the more comfortable it will become to you, just like everything else. You do not have to be musical to incorporate music into your classroom! Play some music while you transition from one activity to the next. You will educate the pupils about transitions in the same way you teach them about any other procedure in your classroom. Students must be at their next activity or workstation when the music stops.
  2. Both music and physical education play an important role in the holistic development of a child but physical education. Children's holistic development includes the development of their physical talents and skills, including both gross motor skills (bigger movements done with arms, legs, or entire body) and fine motor skills (smaller movements made with arms, legs, or whole body) (smaller more refined movements that use the small muscles of the fingers, toes, wrists, lips, and tongue). To establish the strongest basis for a physically active lifestyle, children must be taught fundamental movement abilities (gross motor skills) such as running, jumping, throwing, and kicking, just as they must be taught their ABCs to read and write. Using neuropsychological and psychometric testing, physical activity has recently been linked to improved cognitive function. A growing number of research show that physical activity during children has a good impact on cognition, brain anatomy, and brain function.
