The Importance of Music on the Early Development
Abstract
In this research project, the main focus was to understand the ways in which music affects children’s early development. To gather this information, there was a literature review done about neurological and scientific experiments done about the motor skill, language, social, and auditory memory. An evidence of a sensitive period for music education before the age of 7 was noted throughout the literature review and is advised to take into consideration by parents. Also, a study on the musical toys and electronic games was fulfilled in order to understand if these follow the scientific research and if they helped create a musically rich environment. In fact, these products do take into consideration and other proposals on products were made. For example, the development of an app that records a mother’s voice in a low pitch that will help newborns in their auditory development. Also, the creation of musical electronic books in the future.
