The newborn baby usually recognizes his parents by voice and not by sight or touch. The parents talked to him, sang to him, put classical or light melodies during the nine months of gestation. The first contact of the human being with the outside world is the noise that is made with music and rhythm.
Music at all stages of childhood is vital because it produces physiological changes. In addition, music develops an emotional bond between father and son and creates brain responses permanently. But why is it necessary?
Gestural And Verbal Expression
Children are able to appreciate music, not necessarily child
ish, but with simple lyrics. Music for them not only represents singing but also gestures, instinctive movements and subsequently learned as dance.
Music will also facilitate the development and verbal learning through singing. All this without forgetting the development of memory to remember a certain piece of music, which is a subject of study at universities and academic centers.
As the child feels that music is a universal language, he will have better opportunities to socialize and in early childhood, and he will be attracted to execute some instrument that in the future will allow him to develop his attention span and concentration. Music education since childhood is necessary.
