From Zero to Three's publication "Getting In Tune"
Copyright 2002 Zero to Three
"Music can be the spark that ignites all areas of development - intellectual, social, and emotional, motor, language and overall literacy. In fact, music is a great organizer that helps the body and the mind work together. Young children are attracted to musical patterns and structure. They show this in many ways like clapping at the end of songs or making hand motions for special parts... Music provides an opportunity for your child to interact with other children and loved ones in joyous ways. Because music is such a rich learning experience, the more children are involved with it, the more they learn."
