## **Music and Literacy - Sing and Learn**

This is part one in a two (maybe more!) part series of blogs AND webinars.  
I teach music so that children will learn to be tuneful, beautiful, and artful.  I want children to be confident singers and players, perceptive listeners, and creative movers and music makers.    
   
So my #1 goal is not to teach literacy.  But there are many studies that show that learning music is strongly linked to improved literacy skills.
