Benefits of Music with Young Children

There is a significant body of research showing the benefits of Music Together. Here are a few examples:

  • A study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro found that children who participated in Music Together classes for two semesters had significantly higher scores on language development tests than children who did not participate in the program.
  • Another study, published in the journal Early Childhood Research Quarterly, found that Music Together classes can help to improve children's social and emotional development. Children who participated in the program were more likely to share, cooperate, and express their emotions in a healthy way.
  • A third study, published in the journal Brain Research, found that Music Together classes can help to improve children's cognitive development. Children who participated in the program showed better performance on tasks such as memory, attention, and problem-solving.

In addition to these studies, there is a growing body of research on the benefits of music education for early childhood development. For example, a review of over 300 studies found that music education can have a positive impact on children's language development, literacy skills, cognitive development, and social-emotional development.

Music Together is a research-based program that is designed to help children of all ages develop their musical skills and their overall development. The program is based on the belief that all children are musical and that music can be a powerful tool for learning and growth.

Here are some of the specific benefits of Music Together that have been shown in research:

  • Language development: Music Together classes can help children to develop their language skills in a number of ways. For example, children learn new vocabulary words through songs and rhymes. They also learn about the different sounds of language and how to use those sounds to communicate.
  • Cognitive development: Music Together classes can help children to develop their cognitive skills in a number of ways. For example, children learn about patterns and rhythms. They also learn how to solve problems and think creatively.
  • Social-emotional development: Music Together classes can help children to develop their social-emotional skills in a number of ways. For example, children learn how to interact with others and how to work together as a group. They also learn how to express their emotions in a healthy way.
  • Physical development: Music Together classes can help children to develop their physical skills in a number of ways. For example, children learn how to move their bodies to music. They also learn how to coordinate their movements and develop their gross and fine motor skills.
