Music has a powerful way
of growing young minds from birth
Music making isn’t just a nice thing to do,
it actually changes the way young brains grow and older brains fire.
At Sounds Like This we’re on a mission to empower parents and early years’ educators with the tools and skills to bring music making back into every day learning. Scientific research shows that music education has the potential for far greater impact than ‘just’ creating lovely music. When done with insight and understanding it can positively change brains, now and for a lifetime.
What does Lauren have to say?
I always learn something in each class, and now have a tool box that I can use at home or in my primary classroom.
Peer behind the musical certain
“Music learning increases our executive functions, especially our ability to pay attention and not get distracted, and these are the brain functions that have been found to increase intelligence and academic achievement.”

You already know that babies’ and children’s brains are constantly changing and growing. But did you know, that when you sing, dance and make music with little ones you create an environment where their brain health, play, sense of curiosity, and insightful risk-taking are cherished, nurtured, and encouraged?
Scientific research in this area is very exciting and we’re gaining new insights ALL THE TIME about just how incredible music-making is for human brains of all ages. For example, through exposure to nursery rhymes, children naturally learn to put vowels, consonants, words, and sentences together. This is because simple rhymes provide opportunities for:
repetition
expression
broadening vocabularies
feeling beat
learning rhythmic patterns
developing context and meaning for words
the joy of learning for all (this one’s a biggie!)
