Why is it important for babies and small children?

Music is good for their brains

When babies and children listen to music, sing, clap, dance, or play instruments, their brains become more active. Music can help children learn new words, remember things, concentrate, move their bodies, and feel happier. It can also help children become more confident, creative, kind, and cooperative. Making music is especially powerful because it uses many parts of the brain at the same time. Even simple music at home or school can help children learn and grow.
