Sound Explorers

Stories and music are a powerful duo for speech and cognitive development, as they engage multiple areas of the brain simultaneously. When children listen to stories accompanied by music, they learn to associate sounds with meaning, enhancing their vocabulary and comprehension skills. In a kids' music class, this synergy helps children develop rhythm, memory, and creative expression, making learning both fun and effective.

In my music classes, we use gross movement games to keep the energy up and honor the varying attention spans of kids. These activities provide a fun break, allowing them to refocus and engage more effectively. The movements also enhance their musical understanding and enjoyment.

Simon Says, incorporating animal movements, is fantastic for a child's brain development, enhancing coordination and cognitive skills. This playful activity is like music, engaging children and making learning fun!

The Daycare Teacher Stories - I used to love Simon Says as a kid. Try this with the kids; it will keep them moving, laughing, and having a great time. | Facebook

Just because there isn’t snow on the ground doesn’t mean we can’t role play as Mother Nature ourselves!
I have done this before with many children and it is always a hit!
Fine motor 🤝 music 🤝sensory activities

Coordination in music but also these types of activities go hand in hand in the physical development as well as creativity of your child!

Thanks to all my piano/music therapy and group class families for understanding and being so patience as I recover from surgery!
For my piano families; I have sent away some resources to some of you and will continue to do so!
I miss all of you BUT this has given me time to brainstorm some ideas! Maybe even a fun summer music class.. outdoors?
you’ll have to wait and see!

If you know me, books are as big of a passion as 🎵
Go on this site and the only thing you’ll regret is needing storage for all the books you get for SO cheap.
Literacy is so important with speech and cognitive development! It’s also included in story time as a wind down break in my classes.
