When we combine music and rhythm together with highly structured movement patterns, we can have a powerful impact on children’s brain and body function.
In this era of remote learning, our children are spending more time than ever in front of screens and digital devices. In this webinar, we will investigate the powerful effect of structured movement and music on many aspects of child development and learning. We will incorporate technology as children can learn simple ways of making their own music and creatively developing their own movements and exercises.
Learn how you and your students can add fun and motivating movement programs to their day to have a specific and measurable impact on their learning and overall achievement. A motivating and fun “Movement, Music, and Rhythm” program that students can use immediately will be provided.
As a result of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain the importance of movement and music within a global approach towards child development and learning.
- Discuss research that demonstrates the effect of structured movement, music, and rhythm on brain development and learning.
- Set up a structured training program for their students and measure the effects of the program on student learning and achievement.
