WHY WE PLAY AND PLAY

Here are some quotes about the benefits of play and its contributions to children's learning.

​

"Do not....keep children to their studies by complusion but by play."

Plato

Greek Philosopher, 427-347 B.C.

​

"Almost all creavity involves purposeful play."

Abraham Maslow, psychologist

​

"Play is our brain's favorite way of learning."

Diane Ackerman, Author of The Zookeeper's Wife

​

We have purposeful play in piano class.  Each game song contains a very specific music concept to read.  The children's first experience with the new music is aural learning. Singing games internalize the music for the children as they all have a turn playing the game, thus hearing it several times. 

 

Reading the music comes afterwards.  Students are quick to hear if they play a wrong note. "Oh, that's not how the song goes."  They can usually correct their own mistake.

​

Children love to play.  Whenever I say, "We have a new song in our piano book today", the first response is, "Oh good, a new game!"  I feel just like them. I love teaching these game songs.

 

 I agree with Diane Ackerman:  "Play is our brain's favorite way of learning."
