On the influence of music education on children's physical and mental development

Music plays an extremely important role in church education. Music is an effective resource for teaching and learning. The ways to use music as a teaching opportunity can include the following: singing, listening, rhythmic activities, writing lyrics or composing new songs. By singing old and familiar poems, we can appreciate them and get satisfaction. Learning new songs can also help us understand how modern people express their beliefs and lives, and understand modern music forms. Music is important to children for the following reasons:

1. In childhood, children learned to express their joy with songs and express themselves through poems.

Today, commercial radio, television and pop songs are invading children's ears, affecting children's hearts with questionable philosophy, low moral standards and non-Christian values. We should also use these media to fill children's hearts and lives with truth and teach them to express their love for God and care for people in words. Music is an effective teaching equipment because it brings people happy experience. When something is interesting to do, it is easy to learn and easy to remember.

2. Preaching testimony

Music can enrich missionary work. Children are often attracted by the church because they are particularly interested in church activities, which may be church leisure activities, handicraft classes and music. Any of the above activities is valuable and can be used as a way to get in touch with children and guide them to believe in God. When children are attracted by music, opportunities for contact with church colleagues appear, and they further face the message of salvation.

Diversify the plan

The average child's attention span is not long. Although the length of attention will increase with age, it is difficult for young children to concentrate on one thing for a few minutes. The effective use of a carefully selected poem can increase the diversity of programs and greatly strengthen the theme of teaching.

4. Personal participation Personal participation can make individuals face their hearts more directly.

According to statistics, the income of students participating in activities far exceeds the income of passive lectures. And because music can be a tool for individuals to participate in worship and personal expression, it can enhance their chances of mastering the truth and accepting change. Participation can also make people feel part of a group.
