Every child born into the world
absorbs the rudiments of music about him, just as his first utterances are in
the language of his people. He learns to communicate in songs as well as in
speech, in gesture, signals and bodily movements of various kinds.
At Super Star No.1 Academy, we value music and creative arts as a tool
that keeps children engaged, helps develop well rounded individuals and encourage
skills that are vital for success in the 21st Century.
Engaging in musical and creative art
activities involve the whole child. The child's desire for language, the body's
urge to move, the brain's attention to patterns, the ear's lead in initiating communication,
the voice's response to sounds, as well as the eye-hand coordination associated
with playing musical instruments. All these are key to a child’s cognitive and
mental development.
In learning music and creative art, it is also
important to start early. It has been observed that almost all successful and
renowned music artists in both history and contemporary times began their
journey in music early in life. A good example is Mozart who began exploring
his musical composition creativity at age five.
