Music’s power with kids – little kids

When my grandson, now 17, was 3 years old – he danced – endlessly – to every song in the movie Mamma Mia. He danced that joyful – uninhibited kind of dance that only kids can do. Spontaneous hops and spins and twists and turns. Arms – everywhere. But always capturing the rhythm and shifts.

He’d also ‘sing’ – which meant mouthing the syllables of words he didn’t actually know.

And he was happy. And tireless.

What is it about music that can inhabit – that can so fully captivate? 

Are there children in your life who also hear that call?
