First Steps Around the World

MUSIC AND LANGUAGE

From Australia to Iceland, France to Brazil and many more, our incredible team of music teachers and musicians will introduce your child to the beautiful variety of language and songs that exist in their native countries.

Music is the universal language and no matter where we are in the world people love it and get connected through it.

Can you remember the first lullaby that you sung for your child to try to make them sleep, relax or simply to get closer to them? How many times have you sung that song for them, the one that they love the most whilst laughing and playing together? Music has always been there!

The earliest way in which we communicate with our children is through baby talk or “Motherese”, perhaps you’ve used this melodic type of speaking with them? It’s through this early form of communication that they start to recognise early patterns within language and form deep emotional bonds with us. By using this more musical way of speaking, we can facilitate a faster learning process for our children as they focus more easily on the more melodic and rhythmical patterns of our voices.

Children acquire languages when they understand messages easily, they also learn faster when they’re having fun!

By combining music and language, in a fun and interactive way, First Steps Around The World will not only expose your child to many different languages but their learning will also be supported by the power of music.

“During the first 5 years of life, children are like sponges and in that learning window they can absorb really easily the sounds of music and language.”
