Music plays an important role in child development. It helps with language acquisition, cognitive development, and building motor skills. Young infants begin responding to musical rhythms and melodies. Music exposure supports toddlers' vocabulary development and sensory skills. It also benefits children with special needs by improving behavior, communication, and self-expression. The teacher's role is to provide musical education to help develop children's intellectual skills and build imagination.

2. Definition of Music
• An artistic form of auditory communication incorporating
instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner

3. Music
• Music plays a very important
part in our culture. When
thinking about everyday life,
music is present in a variety of
social and education activities.
Music helps the body and the
mind work together. Exposing
children to music during early
development helps them learn
the sounds and meanings of
words. Dancing to music helps
children build skills while
allowing them to practice self-
expression. For infants,
toddlers, children with special
need music helps strengthen
memory skills.

4. 3-5 years
How music should be accommodated for infants
and toddlers
Very early in their life, children will start to identify
rhythm and even move to the beats of music. After
all, music is mean to touch our souls, besides that
music provides cognitive benefits that support
children’s early development.
Music increases toddler’s sensory development
exposing child to different types of music can
help create more pathways between the cells in
their brains.

5. Toddlers
• Music can help toddlers develop their vocabulary.
Even though at first child may not understand the
words in a son, they do develop their understanding
by identifying the storytelling in a song.

6. Infants
• A 2016 study at the university of Southern California’s Brain and
Creativity Institute found that musical experience in childhood can
accelerate brain development, particularly in the areas of language
acquisition and reading skills.
• Children of all ages express themselves through music. Even young
infants sway, or move their hands in response to music.
• Infants recognize the melody of a song long before they understand
the words. Quiet, background music can be soothing for infants,
especially at sleep time.
• Music helps infants to grow. Recent studies shown that music affects
the physical, emotional, and intellectual development of babies and
children and strengthens cognitive and sensory development

7. Children with special needs and cultural
differences
• A nonprofit group is using music to break through barriers in the lives
of children with special needs. Kids are forging new friendships and
learning a thing or two about life along the way.
• Music has the capacity to provide a positive outlet for creative
expression for children with special needs. In fact, research from the
American. Music Therapy Association suggests a positive connection
between music and cognitive functioning. There is even evidence
supporting the encouraging changes that music can have on behavior,
verbal skills, and self-expression.

8. Special needs and
cultural differences
• Music helps children with special needs by
offering a multi-sensory experience, making
music engages almost every neurological system.
• Using music for special needs children offers a
positive way to motivate behavior. By using
communicating a question non- verbally, the
child is motivated to respond.

The violet section plays much of the melody in every piece of classical
orchestral music.
• Guitar: the role of the guitar in both classical and popular music are
incredibly versatile, making it one of the most exciting and rewarding
instruments to learn. There are two types of guitar roles: lead and
rhythm.

12. Skills and abilities do children
develop from experience of having
daily access to music
• According to researchers, the early years childhood
are critical to learn to unscramble the tones of music
and to build up a mental organization system to
memorize the music. This means that, like language
development, toddlers develop their musical skills
through imitating and memorizing rhythms and tone
of songs such as clapping to beat and singing in
tune. Without this ability children would not be able
to develop their musical skills.

13. Teacher’s role in Music
• A music teacher is someone
who teachers people how ton
plays an instrument or gives
singing and voice lessons.
Music is the fabric of our
society, and music can shape
abilities and character.
Teaching of music can greatly
contribute to children’s
intellectual development as
well.
• Children can develop their
math and pattern-recognition
skills with then help of musical
education.
• Music builds imagination and
intellectual curiosity.
