We all love the feeling of doing something good for our child, right? Sometimes even the most basic skills with children can be cause for celebration or frustration!
One of the most surprising benefits from an early education in music is the ability to use .... drum roll please ... scissors. Seriously. There's a rhythm to using scissors, a coordination of the fine motor skills, the thumb and pointing finger, working together, yet separately. Eye-hand coordination is moving the hand and scissors forward in a straight line without cutting off anything really important. Like a finger!
Practice with rhythm and instruments helps a child use scissors. Not so funny thing is that kindergarten teachers say that children are starting school without this very basic skill. However, Kindermusik families seem typically exempt from this problem!
Just one more reason Kindermusik is good for your child!
Reminder: Next Monday is Presidents' Day, so Monday classes will not be meeting that day!
Happy Valentines Day!
