"I don't sing because I'm happy, I'm happy because I sing." William James.

 

RESEARCH:

 

Don Campbell, author of 'The Mozart Effect' found that early learning occurs primarily through MOVEMENT.

 

The 'No Child Left Behind' Act of 2002 states that 'Studying Music encourages self- discipline and diligence traits that carry over into mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history and geography'.

 

According to a 1997 article in Neurological Research, Music helps prepare the mind for specific disciplines of learning; skills leaned through music carry over into study skills, communications skills, cognitive skills and abstract reasoning skills USEFUL TO ALL PARTS OF LIFE.

 

Findings from a study conducted by three researchers at Sam Houston State University show that parental time spent with children is a significant factor in the development of intelligence.

 

Now in the UK the government are back on board with providing funding and opportunities for Early Years Music and encouraging making music as a famiLy in the home. As a Kindermusik Educator I am convinced that regular MUSIC MAKING IN THE HOME creates better lives for all involved.

 

Hope we get to make music with you :)

 

 

Y

Music soothes, stimulates, conveys mood, communicates ideas and feelings and brings about smiles and laughter.

Music, when delivered with expert knowledge and skill, has been scientifcally proven to be a 'tool for learning'. People who have been exposed to music training from an early age are more likely to get more out of life and succeed in the ways they want to.

A personal message from Ali Lunn:


'We all had such a wonderful time together last year. We think the children grew by meeting and being with us and we, the staff, certainly learnt lots from the children and were blessed by their personalities and the friendships they offered us. This year's venue allows for us to provide an even looser strucutre than before and we look forward to joining in with our enrolled children's creativity and playful minds. xAli Lunn
