I brought my ukulele to work and practiced in front of the two boys I nanny. I loved seeing them sit attentively and get super excited to strum it. It was fun to play for them as I felt no judgment or embarrassment if I messed up, they were just happy to sing and dance along. Music brings so many emotions to the atmosphere, and especially with children it brings happiness and playfulness, and this is essential in child development. Learning music and being around it opens the mind towards expression and feeling and provides a place of freedom.
In the video is James who is 16 months old and he had so much fun dancing and playing with the strings! Hope you enjoy it!
