Fun with Music!

Hi, friends, it's Percy! Summer is a great time to have fun with music. Whether it's listening to your favorite songs in the car or learning a new instrument, music is great at helping us express the way that we're feeling. When you feel happy, maybe you like to sing a song! If you're feeling angry, playing the drums might help express your frustrations. Did you know that our new Liberty Branch Library has a music garden outside the children's area? We call it Harmony Garden! I hope you'll visit and explore the cool outdoor instruments we have there. See ya' soon!

Percy's Tip for Grown-Ups: Research shows that music can support motor, language, and cognitive development in children, as well as decreasing pain and distress. This article from Seattle Children's Hospital offers tips on ways to engage your child with music.
