Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
Music helps us get in touch with, express and manage our emotions and enhances our ability to communicate even before we master language. Music is a valuable tool for relaxing, focusing, expressing yourself and communicating.
Developmentally appropriate music activities involve the whole child, the child's desire for language, the body's urge to move, the brain's attention to patterns, the ear's lead in initiating communication, the voice's response to sounds, as well as the eye-hand coordination.
Participant evaluation/surveys and anecdotal responses will be collected.
Measurable Outcome(s)
So fun! My kids loved it. The programs the library offers are so wonderful - thank you!
