Music and
Movement

‍

We love Music and Movement at GVM. Our Music program helps children to:

• listen to music and sing tunefully
• move expressively and rhythmically and respond to music with their body
• develop age-appropriate musical concepts
• understand and create music
• value music as part of everyday life
• play classroom instruments

‍

Music and movement can help develop: 

• participation in a group and social skills
• expression of emotions
• sharing music and dance of each other’s culture
• listening skills‐noticing changes in tempo or pitch
• creativity and imagination
• cause and effect
• large motor skills
• balance, coordination, and rhythm through dance and movement activities
• small motor skills‐learning finger plays and playing of musical instruments
