It’s that time again when kids rejoice and sing Alice Cooper’s 1972 hit, “School’s Out.”    In the spirit of music, don’t underestimate the importance of music for a child’s development because it is very important for math skills and their capacity to learn more.  Encourage kids to listen to and make music themselves and make music part of every day.  Music also helps with social skills, have the kids play together.  It helps with language skills, some kids can barely talk but can sing the ABC song.  Music can be a positive outlet when trying to switch to a different activity or managing behavior such as frustration.  Music is fun and a great way for your kids to express themselves.  Let the fun of summer begin, rock on!
