Music’s Superpower: The Benefits of Music for Kids

… are you ready for it? The Taylor Swift Eras Tour is making its way to Cincinnati next week. On this episode of Young and Healthy, music therapists Bethany Rice and Erin Seibert sit down to discuss all things music from the ways it promotes language development, to how it affects socialization and connection. We learn how playing an instrument is beneficial for the body and mind, and no, you do not have to be a professional to enjoy making music! We also learn about what music therapy is, who can benefit from it and musical tools parents and caregivers can incorporate into their everyday lives. You’ll be dancing like you’re made of “Starlight” after this episode.
