Benefits

Why Music Is Essential For Kids?

Music learning supports the process from verbal language to reading, writing and understanding language. It is for this reason research has found that musically trained children perform better in standardised tests on language; acquire language including words, syntax and prosody more effectively and earlier; and, utilise language more effectively.

Music learning encourages the development of working memory, particularly auditory working memory. This development is thought to be one of the mechanisms that assists students in processing verbal information quickly and without the need for repetition, remembering multi-step processes and independently managing busy schedules. The development of effective working memory is thought to contribute to the effective creation, storage and retrieval of other types of memories.

Songs

We Love Playing

Sweet Home Alabama

"Sweet Home Alabama" is a song by American Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd, released on the band's second album Second Helping (1974). It was written in response to Neil Young's 1970 song "Southern Man", which the band felt blamed the entire South for American slavery; Young is name-checked and dissed in the lyrics. It reached number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1974, becoming the band's highest-charting single. The song remains a staple in southern and classic rock, and is arguably the band's signature song

Chorus Lyrics

Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord I'm comin' home to you
