    Description

    Remember that song from kindergarten graduation that you still know all the words to? This is the case because music is a profound tool in educational settings when it comes to development and memory, especially in children. In this presentation, the impacts of music and songs are looked at in greater detail. Research shows that using music in early childhood educational settings provides for stronger development in language, memory, social-emotional skills, and cognition. Furthermore, engaging in these activities allow children to have more opportunities to learn and grow. Incorporating music into these settings provides a strong foundation for children and it is important for educators to do so. The significant developmental outcomes of utilizing songs in an educational environment will be discussed in depth during this presentation.
