[Number Sense and English Language Acquisition - Part 1]
@kindermusik_international sent me to a preschool in China to demonstrate how music can engage learners, and cultivate cognitive & linguistic skills through play. In the first video, the ability to count while tapping on the drum prepares the children for future musical endeavours, as every musician needs to “count” as they follow notation. In the second video, the children (for whom English is not a native language) are happily chanting. This may seem elementary to adults, but the ability to repeat rhythmic patterns (or musically, “ostinato”) by rote— while practicing beat competency— is a skill the children will be using for life.
