The Power of Learning Through Music
By The Schoolmarm • May 26th, 2009 • Category: educationalOne of the things that has always amazed me as a parent is how are little ones can seem to memorize entire songs on the radio, yet had trouble remembering the little things. Here is something I think you may find interesting.
In this video, watch a youngster illustrate the power of learning through music by singing the names of all fifty states in alphabetical order.
If you want to take advantage of this music/memory partnership, my I suggest taking a look at Multiplication Wrap by Learning Wrap Ups. It’s a great tool for kids to learn their times tables and uses a rap beat to help memory retention.
Bingzy’s Sing-Along CD, by Arlene Richards, is included in That’s Bingzy! book, which is available now. It uses simple, repetitive words and tunes to reinforce concepts of positive self-esteem. Children will have fun as they learn. It is a great combination for success.

So funny. Just this morning I was singing to my 2-year-old in the kitchen. I do that often in order to teach her concepts. She loves music and picks up the concepts quickly when I incorporate a tune. When I was done she said, “Nice singing. That’s very special.” Too cute
Anyway, my thought was…singing is so great for kids (for anyone, really). They love it, their little faces light up, the concepts are learned and remembered for years to come. Well done, Bing Note!
Thanks Shara! I still remember those educational chants and rhymes from way back when I was a kid. And I say them often, especially…I before E except after C. I don’t know what I would do without them.
