Benefits of Enjoying Music in Outdoor Experiences

Combining music with outdoor experiences produces powerful positive impacts on children. Outdoor music settings add more vibrancy, engage the brain, and strengthen the sense of belonging and connection with others. Here are some more research-based benefits of music in nature:

Singing, playing, or just listening to music can release neurotransmitters which facilitate our ability to bond with one another and experience pleasure
A growing body of research confirms that experiencing music in nature positively engages the brain, builds social cohesion, and creates the conditions to build harmonious communities
Outdoor music spaces engage people of all ages, races, and musical ability to experience and share their creative expressions of tones, rhythms, and melodies
Experiencing music in outdoor settings promotes community engagement and greater individual happiness as it relaxes, soothes, and feeds the soul
Listening to music has also been shown to have a positive effect on those who suffer from neurological brain disorders

Why Outdoor Musical Instruments are a Great Addition to Your Playground

Everyone loves music, including children. Music can be therapeutic. It can help relieve stress, enhance memory, express feelings, and help with better communication skills. Combined with outdoor play, music can become an important part of a child’s overall learning and development. Here are just a few reasons you should consider adding musical instruments to your playground environment:

Emotional Impact

Children LOVE making their own music — even when that “music” might sound like noise to an adult! The ability to be able to play their own instruments is really FUN for children! Music can help nurture their creativity, confidence levels, and self-expression. And in terms of mood, music just makes a child happier!

Physical Impacts

Listening to and playing music have been shown to enhance physical endurance, improve blood-vessel function and help children (and adults) to sleep better.

Social Interaction

Playing instruments together increases children’s focus and helps them to work better together, ultimately resulting in improved social engagement. It also helps kids to practice their listening skills, and assists them in learning how to develop a better sense of community.

Inclusive Play

Adding musical instruments to your playground is an easy way to bring a more inclusive element to your play space. Outdoor musical instruments are naturally inclusive because they’re designed such that any child can play them, including children who are normally limited by certain mobility devices.
