Why music for kids? Do you want to foster creativity and at the same time promote math? By teaching music you do both these things!
Playing music is a very creative process. But playing music is also a mathematical process. You don’t even have to read music to get the benefits of the mathematical process involved in music. Music is laid out in order. Even on a very simple level all songs have a verse, chorus and usually a bridge. Although these fall in varying order they create a whole as in 1 +1 = 2. Verse + Chorus+Verse+Bridge+Verse = Song or some form of this equals a song. It is very mathematical.
So, you can teach creativity and math at the same time. Who says the three “r’s” doesn’t include music? The three “r’s” should include the “s” in the acronym for reading, writing, arithmetic and song!
