Developing Key Skills Needed To Thrive At School Through The Joy Of Active Music Making
Developed over 20 years of working with early years children, parents, teachers and advisors, informed by their feedback, evolving neuroscience evidence and continual evaluation of our work.
Boogie Mites have collaborated with Neuro-musical Researcher Dr Anita Collins to compile our ABCD Music Methodology training package launching in August 2024.
A = Active Attention
Lengthen children’s attention span using interactive music activities that encourage engagement
B = Brain Boost
Build strong cognitive foundations for learning based on neuroscience evidence
Boogie Mites rich and varied music provision develops the auditory processing system on which other neural networks scaffold.
Boogie Mites recorded music with a strong steady beat and overlaid rhythms provides development of rhythmic awareness essential for language, literacy and physical skills.
Boogie Mites recorded music with a catchy tune and overlaid harmonies develops melodic awareness supporting language and literacy skills.
Boogie Mites music activities explore patterns and sequencing of sounds, rhythm, movement and words laying important foundations for mathematical thinking.
Boogie Mites upbeat songs and actions stimulate endorphins and dopamine energising and uplifting all involved.
Boogie Mites music activities involve co-ordination, balance, fine and gross motor skills supporting physical development.
Boogie Mites music becomes familiar through repetition, providing a comforting environment for group activities, promoting turn taking and inhibition control. The music can also be used to influence mood throughout the day eg: calming or uplifting.
C = Community Cohesion
Generate a music bonding buzz between children, teachers, families and wider community
D = Daily Dose
Deliver daily musical experiences to maximise impact. You can do it!
We believe Early Years practitioners and parents who are with the children everyday are best placed to harness the power of music for supporting development. You do not have to be a musician to harness the power of music for supporting children's development. Adults will develop their music skills alongside the children through regular practice.
