The Party Freeze Dance Party Music for Kids

Creating a Soundscape for Young Children Babies are born listeners, attuned to sounds in the womb and the world. Before their vision sets in, infants know their environment through sound—a parent’s lullaby, a dog barking, water in the bathtub, and if they’re lucky, the pulsing rhythms of music. The landscape of sound, a child’s soundscape, is ever present. Touch, smell, and sound are baby’s first teachers. Adults tend to take sound for granted so it rarely finds a place in our early childhood curriculum. Rather, we think primarily about MUSIC which involves performance, talent—you know, what music teachers do.
