Music helps to process and express a diverse range of emotions in a safe way

Musical elements like rhythm, melody and harmony provide multidimensional stimuli

that facilitate the focus and organization of our attention

Reciprocity in shared play, turn taking, listening and responding can build empathy and

connectedness

Music fires up the brain's neurons and establish new pathways and enhance cognitive

functioning

Non-verbal communication skill learnt can be transferred into verbal communication in

day to day life

Music is processed in both hemispheres of the brain and can remediate speech and

language skills
