Singing can help in a child’s development of language and communication whilst the music provides the perfect stimulation for children to thrive and have lots of fun. Playing with musical instruments allows children to develop their fine motor skills and at the same time learn about rhythm and keeping in time with the music. In my sessions I also use props to stimulate the imagination of youngsters and I incorporate some craft activities in which the children can make there own instruments and props. This helps them to really become involved in the songs and music where their full participation is actively encouraged. A story can  also be used at this time. My experience has also taught me the importance of more “free play” and allowing the children to explore and learn in their own ways and at their own pace. There is always a little time left at the end of the sessions to allow for this to happen, and my fantastic bubble machine allows the children to finish on a real high!!!
