MusicStar Kids 1 to 3 yearsStarting children in music early is very important as it helps young children in their physical development, development of mind-body coordination, and logical thinking . MusicStar has developed a special curriculum for early childhood music education that incorporates some of the tried and true elements of the world-renowned ORFF Schulwerk and the Kodaly Method . Through this curriculum young children experience and participate in music as a language to express themselves and to interpret music . Rhythm instruments and tuned percussion instruments provide young children with the tools to make music quickly and effectively . Listening to music alone does not necessarily improve a child’s mental abilities, active music making,however, does . It requires logical thinking, listening and mind-body coordination .
