It&#8217;s a real moment of self-discovery, with a close connection to themselves and their emotions. Children can discover and experience an intimate dimension that is essential, and welcome their emotional dimension. This suspended moment allows them to stop doing what their bodies tell them to do and listen to the music. For example, when they are feverish, they stop grumbling, they know how to wait for their meal, the various cries of infants subside&#8230; It&#8217;s as if the music were a &#8220;band-aid&#8221;, allowing them to &#8220;contain&#8221; themselves, while at the same time enveloping them pleasantly.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a11a0131f8497ccd8c845ada9ebc452a wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><em>It&#8217;s a suspended time for each group, where there&#8217;s both individual listening and a dynamic TOGETHER.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-44b1bf8bc5eb89ee510d2a5c93bf44ed wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#3c7a95\"><em>Toddlers have an incredible attention span throughout the session.
