This is a crucial age for encouragement as many children especially boys stop singing naturally and are often reluctant to persevere with playing a musical instrument. From five years on your child:
|
|
 |
Acquires new vocal strength and discovers new songs |
|
Develops a better memory for music |
|
May show interest in learning an instrument |
|
Starts learning skills formally at primary school |
|
|
|

I was really worried about my child starting school, Emily is very shy, but she loves all the group musical activities - I think it is a great way to boost young children's confidence, while interacting with other children the same age |
