Produktbeschreibung
This bi-lingual (English-Spanish) easy-to-read picture book contains actual photographs of children playing music, moving to a beat and enjoying music alone or with parents or peers. The rhyming text, using the simplest vocabulary, says how everyone can play music. It emphasizes that no special training is needed to shake a rattle, dance to a beat, or even to form your own band. The book is meant to inspire little ones to make music alone, or together friends or parents. But playing music has advantages far beyond the simple joys of creating rhythm and sound. Children need music, and current research shows that parents and teachers can enrich their toddlers lives in many ways by encouraging and playing music with them. Human communication skills are helped by exposure to music at an early ageeven before birth! Neurologically and anthropologically, infants and young children need music as a way to rhythmically organize sounds, and further as a means to express emotions and messages. Every human being is born with a degree of musical potential, according to the work of music educators and researchers. However, unless this potential is developed early on, through formal or informal environmental stimulation, a childs musical potential will decrease with age, and finally disappear. Music is the gift of a lifetime and offers an avenue of creative expression for children, individually and together. This book advocates and enhances a love of music.
