Reinforcing Healthy Habits with Kids Music and Videos 0

Posted on November 26, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Kids music and videos are great tools for teaching and reinforcing habits essential to a happy, healthy life. The invention of the iPod, satellite radio and on-demand programming has made it easier than ever for parents and educators to teach and emphasize healthy choices. Whether in the home, in the car or at school, children can watch, listen and learn. Simply by taking the time to select and share kids music and videos, parents and teachers can enrich the lives of children.

All music and videos, however, are not created equal. Kids music and videos should be chosen based on theme and feel. To encourage healthy living, parents and teachers should select music promoting healthy habits. Habits every child should know and follow include: (i) Getting rest through naps and a good night’s sleep; (ii) Washing hands and regularly bathing; (iii) Brushing teeth and flossing; (iv) Exercising regularly (running, dancing, swimming, playing with friends, etc.), (v) Good nutrition (healthy meals and healthy snacks); (vi) Keeping your room and clothes clean and (vii) Wearing sunscreen. Parents and teachers should instill these habits in their children and students at a young age to ensure a lifetime of health and fitness.

In addition to teaching and reinforcing healthy habits, kids music and videos provide an enthusiastic way for children to be active while playing, laughing and having fun. The feel of the music is what makes this possible. Children can’t help but move around when listening to irresistible, energetic music. Music containing upbeat drumming and grooving bass lines creates the perfect exercise environment. Parents and teachers should encourage movement as often as possible when children are listening to music.

To find healthy habit themed, upbeat music and videos, parents and teachers need not go far.  Google, I-tunes and CD Baby have made searching as simple as turning on your computer.  Word searches might

The Power of Music 25

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Research has showed that music can affect brain cells and some types can even improve intelligence. It’s mood enhancer is a well known fact and taking the advantage of these effects of music an alternative therapy has emerged which believes in curing many ailments through music.

The power of music rests in the fact that it is understood intuitively hence it is a common language for the entire human race. No reason or logic or any kind of intellect required to listen to music. Even animals respond to it. Crying babies calm down when made to hear soft music.

Music is commonly used in psychological healing. Various psychological disorders like acute depression, schizophrenia, panic and anxiety disorders are said to benefit from music. The treatment for severe developmental disorder known as Autism which commonly affects children in the age group of 0 to 3 years also uses music as part of therapy.

Patients recovering from brain injuries have also known to benefit through music. Since when we listen to music we are only focusing on the sound and hardly using the brain we reach a different state of consciousness where the mind is completely relaxed and rested and at this stage the therapists start the healing process. Individuals can benefit tremendously when they meditate concentrating.

It must be mentioned that not all music is healing and also the correct environment has to be created for it to be effective. You cannot lock somebody in a room and make them listen to loud music for treatment. There are times that the military uses music at high decibels for psychological warfare. Since music is understood differently by different people the same music cannot be used for therapy for all.

However the effects of music prove how powerful a tool it can be.

Don’t Let your Pocket Restrict your Love for Music 6

Posted on November 23, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

From the rhythmic South American Samba beats, the melodic concerts of Yiaani, the evergreen compositions of Beethoven, or the hugely popular foot-tapping Indian Punjabi music, music binds the world like nothing else. Wherever you may go, whatever the place, music is the universal language that creates wonders. Caste, creed or colours hold no place in the all encompassing realm of the music world.

To top it all, technology in the form of the internet has really changed the face of music as we knew it. Whether you are a music lover interested in music downloads to hear that favourite song you’ve been missing for the past several years, or a die-hard musician wanting to make up your own music, get onto the net and prepare to take on the world! The urge to make your own music can now be satisfied like never before. Though few people can afford a full complement of studio equipment, reasonably priced options abound, especially on the internet. A full complement of studio equipment may not suit everyone’s pocket, but today low cost options abound that won’t burn a hole in your pocket. A Personal Computer with multimedia at home may well be all you need to satisfy that creative urge of being the next Mozart.

Try a MIDI (short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) player for a comprehensive experience of a digital home studio. Essentially like a piano player, a MIDI player allows you to put in the notes and musical data, and then even change the actual sounds that will play back to you. Take the choice between using electronically created sounds and recording acoustically. The former has a wide range as far as quality of music goes, and needless to say, gives an astoundingly realistic and immensely satisfying experience.

Once you have the software in place, you can even record vocals. Additional requirements are a decent microphone, a good audio interface card and a set of
