Music supports what is being taught and learned.
When combined with systematic introduction, careful observation, and responsiveness to the child's non-verbal communication signals, music can assist the process of change. Several specific types of music have been used successfully to support learning and change in the areas of movement, feeding, sensory organization, language, and communication. These types are defined and described in other papers in this series. To provide a clear rhythmical structure which is similar to the rhythms of the heart beat, sucking and walking gait. To assist mental and physical relaxation.
