Turning Their Ears On - research

2/9/2016

1 Comment

 
'Turning their ears on... keeping their ears open' is a research project that was funded by Youth Music exploring the impact of musical activities on the development of pre-school age children. 

“We are keen to know how music can help prepare children for primary school and to test to see if skills in numeracy and literacy of pre-school age children are improved because of music making activities.” Youth Music

I have posted up the full report as well as the conclusions, which make for very interesting reading...

Conclusions (in brief):
  • ​This type of music experience supports development in communication and language skills and understanding...
  • ​The regular contact with the musicians supports the children’s mathematical development of skills and understanding...
  • ​Through the provision of an enhanced music learning environment and regular contact with a musician the children’s musical development has been enhanced and improved...
  • ​The music projects have had an impact on the children’s emotional, social, physical and cultural development. It has also supported the children’s development of a sense of self.
  • ​These projects have enabled EYWs to work closely with musicians and for both sets of professionals to learn from one another.
  • ​The music projects have had a positive impact upon the parents and carers who have been involved in the music sessions and for many parents and carers whose children have been involved.
