For the Youth symphony, a good example would be, “Understanding the importance of our children and future musicianship they may obtain, we know that our funds are currently insufficient to instill early musical development. The programs the children could do to receive funds would show a need for continued funds, and hopefully a better environment for children since the benefits of music education include a greater success in society, school, life, and also in developing intelligence.” The needs and problem statement is explained by Coley and Scheinberg (1990) to provide a useful outline for the write-up of a needs and problem statement is as simple as this, “The needs/problem statement examines what is happening that requires attention, attempts to explain why it is happening, and discusses what currently is being done to address it” The Youth Symphony’s problems are that they don’t have enough funding to provide elementary musical education to their children,
Music has been shown to help cognitive growth, help students understand other subjects such as math and language, and teach very important life lessons. While sports do help a student grow physically, music helps that student grow mentally. Neuroscientists have conducted experiments with this, and found that music does in fact have a huge impact on how one’s brain develops. Dr. Laurel Trainor, professor of psychology, neuroscience, and behavior at McMaster University, Canada, lead a team of scientist in a study in which they studied the mental development of children (all ages 4 through 6) who took extra music lessons and children who did not. Over the year, they found that as their brains matured, it took less time for their to be an auditory response to a musical note versus some other sort of white noise, meaning that their brains became more able to process sounds faster.
Examples on how to support babies and young children to ensure they make positive choices and have experiences that positively impact their lives Even at a very young age, babies to their utmost to communicate with us.

Level 5 Diploma in Leadership for the Children and Young Peoples Workforce-Early Years (Management/Advanced Practice) Unit 136 136.2,7 Through adult-led activities we can introduce children to new ideas, provide opportunities for them to develop their skills and ensure that they experience all six areas of learning in the EYFS. During adult-led activities we are in control of the teaching we are providing. However, what we cannot have any control over is what young children are learning from these activities. This is why it is important to balance adult-led activities with time and opportunity for children to explore their own ideas, play with resources and use their imagination and creativity. Through doing this and practising the skills that they have learned the children will be able to take ownership of their learning and be able to apply it in different situations.
To ensure a child’s social development is on target, praise, guidance, support and encouragement are key when helping them interact with others around them. With emotional development, a child requires warmth, support, and affection. Between birth and 9 months, a child should be able to respond to the mothers face and enjoy the company of familiar people, enjoy games such as ‘peek-a-boo’, and will be very dependent on their care-givers for comfort. From 1 year and 2 years, the child will become independent and confident, and from this will enjoy performing in front of an audience, be more cooperative and enjoy playing alongside other children. Between 2 and 3 years, the confidence of the child will increase resulting in them playing happily alongside other children adults.

Role play will help with their personal, social and emotional development. Creative writing, children can use storytelling and be creative with making up their own stories. Creative through modelling,
Though the past decade or so researchers have shown so much evidence on the brain development of babies. We know that our very youngest children need environments and curriculums that will stimulate and enhance their development. We know that our very youngest children need caring and nurturing caregivers and environment where they can thrive and grow. We know that a curriculum that is rich in developmentally appropriate ways that promote learning is the best practice for a young children to reach their full potential. When I envision a classroom for infant and toddlers I see a homelike atmosphere that is calm and welcoming for parents and children.
module 5Child Growth & Development: Ages and Stages Module 1 Assessment Handout Diversity in the Classroom Children start developing their attitudes about others and themselves by the age of two. Providers and teachers can have a powerful positive influence on those attitudes. In your activities and classroom you should provide multicultural, non-stereotyping materials and activities that will: * Support each child’s sense of self and family * Teach children to accept and appreciate differences and similarities between people, and * Help children understand beliefs and customs different from their own. Not all materials produced for children are appropriate. Be especially careful with materials that are more than ten years old.
First, music is a core function in our brain. Our brain is created in a way to effectively respond to and process music. New born infants are able to detect differences in rhythmic patterns. Mothers all over the world and throughout time have used lullabies and rhythmic songs to calm crying babies. Also, music precedes language.
