So if you look at children who speak Mandarin Chinese they grow up speaking a language based on pitch based on tone. So what we’re really doing by giving kids meaningful exposure to pitch is sort of filling in this gap that exists that’s based mostly on the fact that English is not a tonal language. And it’s also the idea that you can look at a piece of music and because you sort of have this innate sense for pitch you can just sing it off the page. There’s actually a massive gap in the what we call the perfect pitch or the certainly the sort of the range of perfect pitch and perfect pitch is the idea that you can hear a note and then say oh that’s a C or that’s an E flat or an F. So if you look at you know if you look at the children who grew up in Mandarin China or grew up speaking Mandarin Chinese and then you look at children who grew up speaking English.
It sort of plays to kids strengths and that’s consistent and easy and you don’t need to read music either which makes it nice for a preschool teachers out there and for parents who maybe don’t have a music background but they do they know that they want to get their kids started playing instrument. We’re seeing a lot about letters and numbers and it’s all sort of a just different way of speaking about the same language of music. We’re seeing a lot about the Solfeggio notes like do re me. Imagine sitting in front of a color coded bell or just a tube or anything that plays one note and allowing them to sort of experience that one note in a consistent and meaningful way. So this is the idea that instead of just sitting a kid in front of a piano with 88 notes to play. So what preschool prodigies does really well and what you can sort of do in your own classroom even if you don’t have preschool prodigies is what we call meaningful exposure to pitch. So we’re talking about 0 to 5 basically and having a nice consistent meaningful play with music at that age. And I’ve heard you talk on the podcast before about the sort of critical development period for young kids. The real trick to preschool prodigies is avoid call meaningful exposure to pitch.

If you’re interested in learning about the cognitive benefits of meaningful exposure to pitch and practical tips on how to implement musical education in your preschool then stay tuned for this week’s episode of the preschool podcast. Rob studied music technology at NYU and after teaching preschool in Delaware he realized that this early age was the right time in a child’s life to start learning about the language of music. Our guest, Rob Young, is the host and creator of Preschool Prodigies, a fun, colourful and accessible program for teaching children music. Incorporating musical education helps children sing in tune and understand rhythms, as well as reinforce skills like sequencing and patterning. In this week’s episode we discuss how providing children in your preschool programs with meaningful exposure to pitch can help them to learn the language of music at an early age.
