Our weekly Music sessions in Campbell House are eagerly awaited by our young students. This specialised program is an essential part of our curriculum. We deeply appreciate the role of music in our educational program. Musical experiences are also integrated into the children’s daily classroom activities. 

Engaging with music offers numerous learning benefits for children. With time, they develop their listening skills, concentration, perseverance, creativity, imagination, and memory. By immersing themselves in music and movement experiences, the children begin to grasp important musical concepts such as rhythm, pitch, beat, tempo, and tone. Working in a group setting also fosters valuable skills such as cooperation, communication, and self-regulation. 

Music and movement are closely intertwined. When the children fully engage in music and movement activities, their minds, and bodies work in harmony. Music strengthens the connection between their bodies and brains. 

Introducing music into a child’s life at a young age plays a vital role in their language and personal development. It helps children associate letter sounds with words and enhances their listening skills, which proves beneficial for comprehension. Additionally, music exercises the left side of the brain, responsible for processing language. 

Extensive research has explored the link between music and effective learning. Studies indicate that children develop strong cognitive skills through music when they engage in activities like predicting, organising, imagining, anticipating, repeating, extending, and inventing. A 2016 study conducted by the University of Southern California’s Brain and Creativity Institute discovered that musical experiences during childhood can accelerate brain development, particularly in language acquisition and reading skills. 

For these reasons, alongside the pure delight and enjoyment that music brings, we highly value the inclusion of Music in our Early Learning Programs.
