Music making for children from birth to four years. Tiddly-Om-Pom-Poms is a musical programme written and delivered by Blackpool Music Service.
Music is good for babies because it enhances brain development, improves language skills, supports social and emotional growth, and helps develop motor skills. It helps babies learn to recognise patterns, which is crucial for language, and fosters communication abilities. Music also creates stronger bonds between caregivers and babies and can be used to soothe and regulate their moods.
Music is excellent for all children’s development as it supports cognitive growth by enhancing memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, while also improving motor skills through activities like dancing and playing instruments. It also boosts emotional development by helping children express themselves and build confidence, improves language and literacy skills, and fosters social development by encouraging cooperation and communication in group activities.
