Aspects of music

Mathematics

Goals of mathematical
learning
The universe is full of rhythms, beats and
tones that are created either artificially or
naturally

The beating of drum, clapping of hands,

cluttering of leaves by wind, chirping of birds
comprise music

Music pleases our body and mind

Almost everyone in this world likes music and
children are no exception to it

Children are believed to be the most affected

target group that love to listen and produce their
own music

Before learning to speak children creates sound

in a proper tonal pattern of music like cooing and
babbling

As soon as music hits ears of children they begin

to enjoy by dancing and clapping their hands a
great sense of attachment to music
Because of natural attraction of children towards
music they use to show off their feelings, emotion
through singing songs and bodily movements

Music can play an important role in life of

children by helping them to distinguish between
different kinds of song

It can be used as an important tool for fostering

learning capabilities, vocabulary building,
increasing memory of children

Music helps children to unfold their innate

capabilities
Music may be reproductive or productive

For children music is an experience in which he is an

active participant

Music helps children to learn the sources of sound

produced and to differentiate between different kinds of
sounds
Music helps children to explore different kinds of
movements and to use the movements in variety of
ways

Music contributes to development of children in many

ways e.g physical, emotional and cognitive
development
Music has three aspects:

Making

Listening

singing
children enjoy to listen musical
instruments that are prepared at
home by themselves or with the
help of adults or other elder in the
family.
Some activities which help teacher to help children to
make their own musical instruments:-

Rattles

Drums

jhunjuna
Listening to music is the basic skill in music

Music helps in the physical development of children

They will learn to differentiate between various

sounds

It helps in increasing their hearing abilities in a

proper manner

Children can also learn to distinguish the various

instruments and identify their sounds
Listening to music gives children a form of enjoyment
when they are alone

It relaxes them when they are tired

Preschoolers cannot understand physical properties of

sounds
Almost all children enjoy singing

 They sing loudly often with more energy than skill

 They pickup songs they hear, sometimes repeating a

having nonsense rhyming words are mostly liked by

children.
Songs for children are of many types:

Ballads

The lullabies

Harmourous songs
The mathematics curriculum
certainly provided many contribution
in helping pupil in learning to read
and write well

Number are an important part of

everyday life

We use number for various things

Before the children learn to use

numbers he begins to grasp concepts
that he will later express numerically
Goals of mathematical learning :

i. To develop number concept

ii. To develop vocabulary

iii. To have the concept of shapes

iv. To trane a child to think

v. Mathematics cause the concept formation in the child

vi. To develop reasoning and problem solving skills
