Every child is gifted with musical potential, which must be activated through his engagement with music. Children's musical abilities need stimulation as well as encouragement. Children need simple basic musical opportunities and wooden musical instruments provide them.
As with learning the mother tongue, that is, that every man can speak but cannot say a word of his own language unless he comes in contact with people who speak that language to learn from them, similarly the musical abilities of children are hypnotized until they are awakened by their participation in musical activities.
Children have many abilities and only a few years at their disposal to develop them. So why should children cultivate their musical skills?;
Many of the benefits of music have been known since ancient times. Modern research points to many more benefits of musical practice. Children love to play music and present it to parents, to school. The presentation does not need to be long , one song is enough. They also love to record their voice or the instrument they play and then listen to it again. They like to repeat what excites them.
Share the music you like with the kids, play with wooden musical instruments. Listen to music together, encourage children to dance , to sing, to beat the beat.
Music is sound and emotion together, human expression and communication with others.
