Our play teams often use traditional singing and drumming as an inclusive play exercise at our projects. Every child has a role, adapted to their needs, from drumming to dancing to supported clapping.

As well as being an accessible group activity, music plays a crucial role in child development...

*Engaging with music helps to create neural pathways in the brain which are essential for language acquisition, memory and problem solving.

*Making music often involves movement such a clapping, dancing and playing instruments which enhances childrenโ€™s motor skills such as coordination and spatial awareness.

*Singing and dancing together provides a safe space for children to express their emotions.

Above all these developmental benefits, most importantly, children are able to interact and have fun together!
