Music can be fun, engaging, and a great source for entertainment. But, did you know that music can also provide opportunities for learning and address goals? If you are a music therapist or music educator, these are not news to you because the utilization of music as a resource to support children is the foundation of the work you do.
We can support children (and all individuals, for that matter!) with music that helps kids achieve goals that address different areas such as cognitive, emotional, physical, and social needs.
Communication skills can also be addressed and developed through music, and this is what music therapist Alyssa Stone, MT-BC of Dynamic Lynks discusses further in the eight episode of the Music For Kiddos Podcast.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
· How music can access communication, speech and language
· Tools and instruments we can use to support breathing, sound productions & articulation
· Strategies to promote and elicit communication
