About the theme

Listening to music plays a role in a child’s brain development but playing music ignites all areas of development, setting children up with infinite skills for life. With World Music Day falling in June, there is no better time to engage in music play!

Sharing musical experiences with others supports children to develop their sense of wellbeing and social skills. It also builds independence and confidence.

Musical experiences in the early years encourage the development of sound processing, language development, and speech perception. While encouraging children to dance to music builds gross motor skills, recall, and self-expression.
