00:04 Having trouble reading?
00:06 Maybe the music of Bach can help. 00:08 In many innovative schools around the country 00:11 it's not uncommon to hear a child with reading difficulties 00:14 reading aloud while a baroque piece is playing. 00:18 At first the sound might increase distraction 00:20 but soon the soft regular music will improve their concentration 00:24 and the voice of the child becomes smoother 00:27 and more rhythmic. 00:28 If you have a young person in the house who is 00:31 just learning to read, or who would like to read better, 00:33 try playing a slow 2nd movement from a concerto. 00:37 preferably by Bach or Handle, or set up a metronome 00:41 beside their desk and set it for 60 beats per minute 00:44 while they read. 00:46 Rhythm and music once again prove to be valuable tools 00:51 in focusing our mind and abilities. 00:53 I'm Jennifer LaMountain reminding you, 00:56 that God has created each one of us with a musical mind. |
