  6. Thank you Phinius, as an ICT teacher, I have seen firsthand on how music can be a powerful tool in early childhood development that only supports language, memory, and emotional growth, but it also introduces young learners to digital tools in a fun and engaging way.
    Apps and interactive platforms that incorporate music help children develop both fine motor skills and early computational thinking. For example, simple music-making software can teach sequencing, cause and effect, and pattern recognition—core concepts that also support early coding skills.
    It’s inspiring to see how music and technology together can spark creativity and confidence in young learners. Thank you for shedding light on such an important and often underestimated part of early education!
