Enhance Neural Processing with Musical Instruments – Benefits for Babies – Module 3

Description

What you gain from this Training Module.

Playing musical instruments to babies and playing baby-safe instruments together are two different activities that come together in the ‘jam session’. Activities with instruments develop skills in listening, playing and improvising. They are beneficial in at least seven ways. This resource will probably stimulate you to think of even more.

Here’s what the research tells us about the main benefit: typical baby music classes, with their repeated activities, enhance infants’ ability to detect and predict auditory patterns, not only in music but also in speech.

Learn from experts in baby brain research about what happens when you expose infants to six continuous weeks of playing them waltzes and tapping the beat with instruments. In this fascinating research you’ll find out about getting results with the mis-match response (MMR) and how it is measured in a 9 month-old child.

We’ll also delve into the cultural importance of musical instruments, the musical element of timbre and the classification of instruments.
