Preschool children's language ability is further developed and mature, and they are interested in tone and rhythm. Some children's songs with simple melody and rhythm are most suitable for children of this age. In the choice of lyrics, children can sing nursery rhymes, which are composed of short sentences and words with simple pronunciation.
Although not every child must learn musical instruments, music is very suitable for children to listen to. Music itself is a language, and for children, what they hear is the best language ability training. Kodak, a Hungarian music educator, advocates such a teaching method: first, let children listen to Mozart, Beethoven or Bach's famous classical music. Children can sit down and lie down, close their eyes and stay relaxed. The teacher will follow the rhythm and explain to them with the change of tone until the music is over. After a month's training, their language ability is much better than that of their peers.
No one is born with a good memory. Only through training the day after tomorrow can the duration of memory be gradually accelerated and extended. This requires an effective method. Music is the best teaching material to cultivate children's memory. An experiment was conducted to let some mothers who just gave birth to their children listen to classical music and repeat the cycle. Until the baby is 5 months old, when he hears a song he has never heard before, his face shows an expression of surprise and anxiety, and when he hears a familiar song, he laughs heartily. This result shows that a 5-month-old baby can already remember music.
It can be seen that children's exposure to music in early childhood education can bring many benefits, the most obvious of which is the direct and positive impact on brain attention, memory and language ability.
