Foundation of Learning Tip #21:
Working together in musical ensembles during Imagine That! class help children feel and express beat and develop basic timing. "Being skilled in basic timing means posessing beat awareness (being able to accurately feel and indicate beat in nonlocomotor ways) and possessing beat competency (being able to match the beat by walking to it)." Children who have basic timing at an early age have a head start in at least three important areas of development: motor skills, musical skills, and academic skills (Weikart and Boardman 1990).
