The Surprising Benefits of Scarf Play on a Child’s Development

from http://www.kindermusik.com/mindsonmusic/kindermusik/the-surprising-benefits-of-scarf-play-on-a-childs-development/

Swish.  Twist.  Float.  Twirl.  Bounce.  Wave.  Scrunch.  Toss.  Peekaboo.  Up high, down low.  Fast or slow.  Round and round.  Side to Side.  Over your shoulder.  Behind your back.  Through your legs. 

There are a thousand and one ways to play with scarves.  That’s precisely why scarves are such a valuable prop in a music class.  But surprisingly, what looks like just fun and games is actually enhancing your child’s development, especially when you combine scarf play with a song, a rhyme, or a recording.

Benefits of Scarf Play include:

• Sparking imagination as we explore all kinds of ways to play with our scarves
• Teaching directional tracking as we visually track our scarves’ movement
• Improving eye-hand coordination as we play catch or peekaboo
• Increasing vocabulary as we verbally describe what we are doing with our scarves
• Sharpening listening skills as we move our scarves based on musical or verbal cues
• Practicing inhibitory skills as we start and stop our movements with the scarves

Musical Hacks that Help Kids Be a Good Friend

from http://www.kindermusik.com/mindsonmusic/kindermusik/musical-hacks-that-help-kids-be-a-good-friend/

Happy Friendship Day today!!  Just wishing you “Happy Friendship Day” probably made you think of certain people you’ve been blessed to know and who have made your life better just by being your friend.  A good friend is someone who is caring, supportive, understanding, interested, kind, and giving.  It’s a joy to not only have a friend, but also to BE a friend!

But have you ever wondered how to help your young child learn to be a friend?  Music classes are a great place for children to gain the skills they need in order to be a good friend.  Skills like…
Learning to share
Practicing the skill of sharing usually happens around a box of assorted instruments, books, or puppets.
Try this at home: Before your next play date, talk with your child about what it means to share their toys or favorite stuffed animal.  You might even try a little role play to practice sharing.  Continue reading...
