KIDS & MUSIC

Children of all ages express themselves through music. Playing music for infants proves that, even at an early age, children sway, bounce and moves their hands in response to the music they hear. Many preschoolers make up songs and, with no self-consciousness, sing to themselves as they play. Kids in elementary school learn to sing together as a group and possibly learn to play a musical instrument. Older children dance to the music of their favourite rock bands and use music to form friendships and share feelings. No doubt music plays a big role for an individual as well as to the society. For my project, I am focusing on kids at the age of 6-17 to create a learning music centre for the future generations. Music helps nurture kids in so many ways. It could improve their academic skills, helps develop physical skills, and cultivate their social skills. This may also benefit the society by enhancing the quality of growth for the future generation.

Taken inspirational source from Tohogakuen School of Music’s ideology, where “a demand for a more visual connection” is needed. I derived that this implication is very well suitable for kids. Where having an “openplan” music centre could increase one’s interaction between another, plus enhancing their visual communication and their social development. The spatial idea for my project revolves around having a wide open, permeable and transparent spaces.
