Language Development “When you look at children ages two to nine, one of the breakthroughs in that area is music’s benefit for language development, which is so important at that stage,” says Luehrisen. While children come into the world ready to decode sounds and words, music education helps enhance those natural abilities. “Growing up in a musically rich environment is often advantageous for children’s language development,” she says. But Luehrisen adds that those inborn capacities need to

Assessment task – TDA 2.16 Support children and young people’s play and leisure Describe the importance of play and leisure for children and young people There are 10 important purposes on how important play and leisure is, in that it motivates, stimulates, supports, develops skills, concepts, language/communication skills, concentration and positive attitudes, demonstrates awareness/use of recent learning skills and consolidates learning. As long as the curriculum and environment is well planned and structured the children should become active learners. Hearing lots of songs, rhymes and stories make a difference to young children. The earliest months and years are very important. Even when you are cuddling, playing, singing and talking with your child it all helps develop their brains.
They must be provided with opportunities to explore and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings, for example, through a variety of art, music, movement, dance, imaginative and role-okay activities, mathematics, and design and technology’ Statutory Framework 2.17. In this area of learning, creativity has been shown to be very interesting as workers can put together other learning areas, such as problem solving, together with creativity and help children understand, learn and achieve their development by using different methods. There are three aspects of creative development which are being creative by responding to experiences, expressing and communicating ideas; exploring media and materials; and creating music and dance. Being creative by responding to experiences, expressing and communicating ideas shows an overall of how the children might express themselves. This aspect of learning makes sure that workers know that children need a wide range of experiences, materials and resources for them to be able to express themselves by planning different types of activities for them to do.
It enables children to interact and participate in a variety of projects to encourage creativity and independence. This is a good strategy as it encourages children to construct their knowledge through the relationships they build with others and the surrounding environment. ‘’It is an approach where the expressive arts play a central role in learning and where a unique reciprocal learning relationship exists between practitioner and child’’. www.educationscotland.gov.uk/ (21/11/13).

Music lessons cultivate a wide range of skills. Playing an instrument requires fine motor skills, practice, knowledge of a musical system and emotional intelligence to convey the piece's message. Developing regular practice habits in each of these areas can aid children outside the music room by reinforcing study routines that reward the time put into learning a new skill. The process is also much like going to school in that the music student is learning interactively, whether in a group or one-on-one environment. Smaller classrooms have been shown to increase learning potential, and therefore these smaller, individualized sessions help develop increased learning aptitude and attention.

They should have experience with a wide variety of content (art, music, language, science, math, social relations) because each is important for the development of a complex and integrated brain. Play that links sensori-motor, cognitive, and social-emotional experiences provides an ideal setting from brain development. According to Montessori, the essential dimensions of play are: Voluntary, enjoyable, purposeful and spontaneous Creativity expanded using problem solving skills, social skills, language skills and physical skills Helps expand on new ideas Helps the child to adapt socially Helps to thwart emotional problems If play is the work of the child, toys are the tools.
