Music is a central part of our family life. Kids love rhythm, sound, singing, and dancing. When you take something that kids enjoy and use it as a basis to teach them other things, then they will love to learn. Let's say I'm the parent of a preschooler, and I want my child to learn her numbers and letters. Convince me that spending part of the schoolday on music is a good use of my child's time.
Music can help kids learn their numbers.
It's made up of basic patterns that use numbers. Whenever kids keep the beat of a song, they count. And to know how long a note of a song should be, they count. When they get older, music can help them understand fractions. Music can also help kids learn to read and write.
