A great deal of research has been carried out with regards to musical activity and the brain and it is evident that music-making, singing and dancing aids the general development and well-being of young children. Regular musical activity can help support children’s acquisition of language and communication. It can aid their personal and social development, their physical agility, well-being, imagination and creativity. Musical activities may also help towards an understanding of mathematics, allow us to make sense of our world and aid literacy skills.

I hear thunder, I hear thunder,
Hark don't you, hark don't you? Pitter patter raindrops, pitter patter raindrops, I'm wet through, so are you. I see blue skies, I see blue skies, Way up high, way up high, Hurry up the sunshine, hurry up the sunshine, We'll soon dry, we'll soon dry.
