Movement Music &

Rhythm
Musical behavior is a fundamental part of human experience and
especially important during childhood, when lullabies, nursery
rhymes, and action songs provide rich and enjoyable forms of
social interaction and play.
Movement activities not
only aid fine and gross
motor development, but
also stimulate attention,
cooperation, sensory
processing, visual skills,
speech and language
development, and impulse
control.

Music is a
universal language- Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow

Musical behavior is a fundamental part of human experience and

especially important during childhood, when lullabies, nursery rhymes,
and action songs provide rich and enjoyable forms of social interaction
and play.

Educators have often suggested that musical learning during

childhood can have a positive impact in other learning domains as
well. This can include subjects and grade level.

In case of children, they facilitate socialization

and communication through a game, it can
improve and treat emotional inhibitions,
sensory and motor handicaps, and autism.
