Music has the power of shaping character and should therefore be introduced into the education of the young. Aristotle- Music as art and as an artistic subject affects an individual as a whole. Music Activities stimulate mental and physical development, emotional sense of beauty, creativity, self-esteem, and interpersonal relationships.
Music learning improves children’s lives
Music learning enhances and improves children’s effective (emotional and behavioral, psychomotor (minds on –hands on), and cognitive development. Studies have shown that music learning, which includes both the theory and practical (playing piano, Drums, Recorder, Guitar, and other musical instruments and singing), offers essential values such as high intelligence quotient, improved academic performance, emotional development and improved attention span, psychomotor development, and, in recent times, spiritual development.
In living fountain Orphanage homes, we have adopted music as a tool to help our children grow in all spheres of learning. Considering the background of most of the children in our homes, we use music as a therapy for our children. Our children listen to music, sing songs, play instruments, dance ballet, and make music as well.
We have seen tremendous results from these musical activities. Our toddlers start to speak fluently as early as one and a half years old, despite the trauma and unpalatable circumstances that precede the birth of these children. We are glad to inform you that very soon, we will be calling on you to celebrate with us as we launch our second album titled “ A Gift of Love’’. For us at Living Fountain Orphanage, music is our lifestyle.
Today, we give thanks to God for the wondrous things he has done and is still doing in Living Fountain Orphanage through the power of prayer and good music.
LOVE, CARE, AND DEFEND A CHILD TODAY
