Music to Our Ears
It’s no secret that kids love to make noise, which is probably why they also love music. Nursery rhymes of all sorts have been sang to children over the years and it really brightens up their mood when music is being played around them. Not only is music enjoyable for children but believe it or not music is great for children’s learning and understanding their daily activities.
Kids songs are a great way to deliver thoughts and ideas to children since it makes it easier for them to learn and understand. For example, someone thought of the brilliant idea to make a song out of the alphabet in order to make it easier and more fun for children to learn, and now today I bet some of you adults still sing that song when remembering the sequence of the alphabet. It is an extremely effective educational avenue that also makes for a fun learning experience.

Children’s songs are also a great learning tool in order to help them go through with day to day activities. An example of this would be the wheels on the bus rhyme. The wheels on the bus takes a simple concept of riding a bus and turns it into a fun learning experience, or even somewhat of a game for young children. Now every time they get on the school bus they will think of that song and it will bring them ease and make for an easier bus ride. Another prime example of this would be twinkle, twinkle little star. This nursery rhyme allows for the child’s imagination to run wild and create a picture of imagery in their heads using the words from the song. It also helps with their bedtime routine since they associate stars with coming out at night which means it is time for them to go to bed. This simple association of stars at night and bedtime is actually very beneficial to their routine and keeping them content with daily activities.
Another way that music helps children get through their day to day activities is through repetition and memory. Songs are catchy and can be fun to sing along with which makes it easier for children to learn and remember things. If your child is having trouble keeping up with their day to day routine simply create a fun, new song that will help them stay motivated and remember what needs to be done for the day. Songs also make life a little more exciting and add that extra flare of fun to a usually mundane task, which is great for our little, short tempered friends. Not only will they have more fun doing their day to day routine but it will also help them stay motivated and on task as well.
So as you may have heard before, music makes the world go round and boy is that ever true! Without music life would be boring and not to mention awfully quiet which let’s face it children have never liked “quiet”.
