Music is a powerful tool for connecting and communicating. Music brings experience to life and provides a fun and natural context for learning and practicing new skills. Music can teach sounds, concepts, vocabulary and grammar. Because movement is a natural part of music is it also a great tool for teaching the motor skills that underlie speech, feeding and fluency. Music can serve to soothe, calm, and distract from the drudgery of practice. Music uses sounds and silences to structure time and it can serve as a tool for enhancing memory through repetition. It is also easily adapted to a wide range of individual abilities.
