Chapter 6: Music

Music is the universal language that promotes reading, creativity, and comprehension skills in children. Music and rhythms are found in every culture throughout the world. Music can come in many forms. Listening to music will help children understand rhythm and use physical activities to learn motor skills. Children notice patterns of words and use this knowledge to master language. It has been shown that children develop faster socially, mentally, and even physically when exposed to music in their early childhood.
