From scrapers to shakers and bells to bird calls. Use music and sound as a springboard for language and literacy development
We know that music and sounds play a very important part in developing speaking and listening skills. These are the basis of language and literacy. And because music requires the simultaneous use of the left side and right side of the brain it is excellent for all round brain development. The left brain is used for sequencing and recognition of pattern and the right side for rhythm and movement. Music really is great brain exercise!
I have chosen a wide selection of fairly traded and sustainably sourced musical instruments from around the world. They are easy for small hands to use and our Jamtown activity packs add real value with rhythm activity ideas for even the most music-shy practitioner to feel confident with.
