A look into the future
Exciting events are already planned for next March: the daycare week and an open day at the municipal music school in Wolfsburg.

But why is music so important for children? Children are receptive to musical sounds from birth and can hear their mother's voice during pregnancy. Music provides security and is an important form of communication between child and caregiver. The positive effects on memory, intelligence and social behavior are recognized and anchored in many education and upbringing plans. KUBI Online points out that more than 75% of parents regularly sing with their children, which is not only fun but also promotes early childhood development.
Additionally, research finds that access to musical activities often depends on parents' education level and socioeconomic status. This makes initiatives that make musical education accessible to all children, especially in daycare centers, all the more important. Over 17% of students in public music schools are children under the age of six, which shows that interest in early music education is constantly growing.
With so many inspiring projects and an exciting future for music education in Wolfsburg, one thing is clear: the city has a good knack for supporting the little talents of tomorrow and offering them a loving and creative environment.
