Soak up the Sun and Listen to the Sounds

By 88 Keys Team

The past few days have been amazing with the weather and I’m sure we are all loving it! Studies have shown that the weather has an impact on our mood, well music has an impact on our mood as well.

In the same way that the sun can make us happy and rain can make us sad, different genres of music can evoke the same emotions. This can be a useful tool when dealing with the different emotions that our children have and can teach us how to use music to set the mood with our children. Music can be incorporated during play time, study time, meal time, and of course nap time. It’s all about choosing the right songs for the right time.

Here’s a song that I like to listen to when I’m cooped up at home and dreaming about the sun, it makes me feel all warm and tingly inside:
