Celebrate Music in Our Schools Month!

The National Association for Music Education (NAfME) celebrates Music in Our Schools Month each March, a tradition that began in 1985. Young children are naturally drawn to music, so try to offer many musical activities on a daily basis. Here are some musical activity ideas for your group:

Research says that children laugh 200-400 times a day. A 35-year-old laughs a mere 15-18 times a day. Sad, isn’t it? Why did we stop laughing? Laughter is important!

Laughter releases endorphins – your body’s pain-killing, feel-good chemicals.
