Make your music

Music Room

Physical Benefits of Music

Music can be a powerful tool for emotional and physical development in children.
Making music offers opportunities to improve communication
Children can express emotion through the noises that they make, practice back and forth exchanges, turn-taking and listening skills by making sounds together.
Music can also help regulate the nervous system. Slow, soft music and sounds are calming and can ease anxiety, while loud, up-tempo music is alerting, which helps an under-stimulated nervous system.

Physical Benefits of Active Sensory
