Nursery rhymes have been a part of learning in the infant stages for over a century. Even you haven’t heard of them, many of your friends listened of these songs to be educated. And at the end of the day, that’s what they are, songs. For most people, this is their introduction to music. A lot of their early judgement are decided on whether their songs can meet the standards of what previously educated them. This why these songs have to be written so well. Their perception of certain subjects will forever be affected by their first encounter with a certain song.
A rhyme that all most every has heard is “Old McDonald had a farm”. It’s a great song that teaches people about the responsibilities that come with raising an animal. It’s the reality of raising organisms that can’t communicate the same way that we do. The people that listen to this song, come from the country as well as the city, so they will interpret it differently. A listener from the country is going to take their animals much more seriously. A listener from the city will take their dog or cat much more seriously.
The song “Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake, Baker’s Man” is great song that can teach children the science about baking. Many non-cooks wouldn’t realize it, but there’s a lot of science in cooking that people will experience. It gives kids and adults alike a reason to try different things and not be afraid to fail. Cooking is something that need to be started at a early age if people want to take it seriously. Even most of the family will be supportive if they give a try.
One of the great social songs is “Peter Peter pumpkin eater”. Not every region of the world is the same. Some places have special vegetables and are not all the same. The encourages mischief and energy which encourages the singers to interact with each other. It not only teaches them consequences of doing things, but who is who in their social group. It can also teach people the excitement of the pumpkin. It not only teaches people about the taste, but also the different aesthetics each of them can have.
