The Power of Rhythm: Singing, Dancing and Moving into Self-Regulation and Learning by Barbara Sorrels

Young children are naturally drawn to movement, sound, and rhythm! While they love dancing and singing, these activities are more than just fun—they play a vital role in development. Singing, dancing, chanting, musical play, and responding to rhythm both builds and repairs the brain, builds social bonds among children, provides a language for expressing emotion, and prepares the brain to absorb information.  Rhythm is a critical pre-reading skill as the brain must accept rhythm before it can learn to read.

This webinar, presented by author and founder of Connected Kids, Barbara Sorrels  will share the most recent findings from neuroscience about rhythm and learning and provide practical strategies and resources for how you can create a rhythmic environment that supports social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.

Join this webinar to:

1.  Understand the impact of rhythm on the formation and continued growth of the brain

2. Identify the ways in which rhythm can support impulse control, behavior and learning

3. Become familiar with tools, resources and activities that help create a rhythmic environment.
