Providing quality outdoor play experiences for children involves more than simply constructing a safe climbing structure and sending them into the fresh air to exercise. Language, social and creative skills in particular benefit from play areas with landscapes and equipment which enables them to experiment and extend their horizons and provide opportunities for social discussion, problem solving and increased communication. Making music available in the playground ticks all the right boxes. Musical play offers cognitive, emotional and physical play opportunities. Playing music can relax, revive or rally us depending on our mood, musical play encourages creativity and the physical action that accompanies it helps improve coordination. Music in a playground and the space and freedom it offers, makes it more likely that gross motor activity and development will occur. The introduction of a musical garden or outdoor 'soundscape' will excite and inspire children musically, allowing them to explore new sounds whilst enjoying the obvious benefits from spending time outdoors. A musical playground will provide young children with opportunities for early interaction and positive experiences with music. A facility where children can explore, create and develop their own musical ideas and sounds - maximising the musical potential of a child during their most rapid developmental period. So, call us today to see how we can help bring music to your playground and discover the joy and empowerment of music making outdoors......unfortunatley we cannot help with the blue skies bit, so we've ensured that all our instruments are designed to withstand all weathers! |
