Play and Grow Smart-er Tips Nancy Pyne-Hapke, author of “Play and Grow Smart, A Guide Supporting Brain Development, Birth through Five,” has been giving tips to aid your child’s optimum skill development through proactive neuroscience-based activities weekly since 2010. These ideas come from scholarly sources to personal interviews, from the internet to periodicals to books. THE CRITICAL WINDOWS during which the circuits of the brain are being most heavily wired for MUSIC development is 3 – 10 years. The more opportunity children have to experience healthy, positive and nurturing MUSIC experiences during this critical period, the more efficiently their brains will work over the long run. A FEW DEVELOPMENTAL LEARNING TOOLS (toys and other objects) for MUSICAL development: rattles and other toys for making rhythmic sounds, any objects that create gentle/rhythmic sounds, toys that jingle/squeak/chirp/click/snap/ring, singing toys, play phones, musical instruments, any technology that plays music. Some “MUSIC” tidbits: ** BRAIN CONNECTIONS created while learning to play an instrument between 3 – 10 years old are hard- wired for life; the skill can always be retrieved, no matter how long it has been since the instrument was last played. ** MUSIC is connected to math in the brain. .. PIANO lessons, drum lessons, string instrument lessons – good! .. Children’s spatial reasoning skills/understanding 3-D space, are enhanced. .. Exposure to complex musical sounds like results of “The Mozart Effect” has been shown to improve – playing with mazes – copying patterns – drawing shapes ** USE music as a tool, .. slow songs for bedtime. .. quicker/peppier songs for active playtime. Upcoming – “Music, pt. 3” Comments to msmarm@roadrunner.com.
