Basic Skills for Kids (Ages 2-6)

Children and music are natural companions and what a better way to help young and special children learn than through a medium they love so much. Music can help develop basic skills through participation in structured, yet fun, activities. These six songs focus on a child’s ‘me’ world would and are effective with one child or an entire group. Slow, simple and repetitive techniques explore and improve such skills as body part identification, motor development, right-left discrimination, emotional awareness and more.
