The Stretchy Band and its many benefits!

Stretchy bands are wonderful props for music class! At Ladybug Music®️ ATX, we love to use this tool during our sessions, as much as possible because they are great for development, give everyone a chance to explore music in a different way, and they are lots of fun.

Some of the many benefits of the stretchy band activities are:

• Develops gross motor skills and promotes large movement
• Develops coordination and spatial-awareness
• Strengthens muscles (arms, shoulders, chest, back…)
• Improves movement control
• Provides a visual representation of the beat and a textural experience (thru touch and feel of fabric)
• Encourages cooperation
• Encourages creativity and self-expression
