The Next Step

Primal

• African people believe rhythm is natural in their bodies. Rhythm is a primal form of communication and is very rooted in them. Traditional African music is what binds the community together.

• There is a certain heartbeat that you feel when you connect with the rhythm of the drum, it transforms your energy.

Prof. Dr. Azizi Hj. Yahaya. Faculty of Education. University Technology Malaysia.

• We generally think of music as something created by humans for entertainment purposes. Without knowingly, music can make us smarter.

Improve

• Developing a child’s musical ability may actually improve her ability to learn and be successful at other disciplines, such as language, math and science.

OUR BRIAN

• Our brain has more than 100 billion neurons, each linking to other neurons creating trillions of connections.

Use them or lose them

• If the neurons are used they become stronger, if they are not used they may die, but it all depends on the experiences of childhood which determines the lives of these neurons.

Left and Right

• Both the right and left hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music.

Formation

• The music enrichment stimulates the formation of synapses and the growth of dendrites in the brain.

MOVEMENT

• Through movement, children learn to further use their bodies as instruments. In order to audiate rhythm in their minds, children must experience it in their bodies.

Dr. Erik ScherderProfessor of Neuropsycology

at the VU AmsterdamFocuses on the relationship between physical activity and behavior (cognition, sleep-wake rhythm, and mood) in children that play a musical instrument.

CHILDREN

• If they don’t learn to do this at an early age, it is much harder as they get older. Most basic motor patterns develop before age five and are merely strengthened after this age.
