Middlesex, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) October 5, 2012 - At Songeist we understand that it's not just a luxury to listen to music, it is vital. We are creating a music community based on a strong ethos, which will allow artists to be rightfully compensated for their work and giving them the ability to sell music online, post audio samples, and learn how to promote a band. This is for old bands and new bands alike and will promote an environment where new music can flourish. It's the next big thing in music distribution because it is rooted in a strong music community idea. Listeners benefit from having access to new bands and new music and being able to download music and listen to music directly on our music website. It's going to be big so get with the power of music!

"Children's intuitive responses to high-quality audio samples is universally positive from birth. Wendy Sims, professor of music education, University of Missouri-Columbia and chair of MENC's Society for Research in Music Education, states, "Researchers have found that, during the preschool and primary years, children demonstrate very positive attitudes toward many kinds of music" (Wilcox, 1999, p. 31). In our child care centers, we may see children moving their whole bodies intuitively to the mood, tempo, and dynamics of new music, or to a special instrument they hear in the music long before much language develops. Offer them a scarf or a wide ribbon, and watch their responses grow! Play a Sousa recording, and children will march instinctively! Play a lullaby without words, and notice the intuitive responses! Children will move naturally to almost any musical selection. The seeds of listening encourage intuitive, creative responses to music." It's so important to us that in our music community this innate human passion for music shine through. On the music website you will be able to listen to new music and new bands and download music. Artists can learn how to promote a band and sell music online. It's so much better than any other music website out there!
"Our challenge as adults is to provide quality new music for their experiences as we respect the collective needs of children. They also need to be introduced to new music they might not have opportunity to hear otherwise. When adults encourage children's intuitive responses to new music consistently, children may surprise us as they move creatively to music, and respond with movement representation of the music that makes us want to join in their "dance."
"Music is called the universal language because - with no words - all types of music touch children's ears, head, heart, and body, and leave them more alert for having responded."
"During the first two years of life," say new music researchers, "young children listen and show us that they recognize many sounds important to them: voices of parents, siblings, and caregivers; sounds in their immediate environment such as their toys, TV, videos, and sounds in the kitchen and in the car. They also recognize musical sounds such as their own name sung, the theme songs for children's TV programs, music an older brother or sister may be practicing, songs sung to them, and the "music" heard in expressive voices of family members and caregivers." This is an example of audio samples being used as recognition that young children are responsive to the stimulus of the possibility to listen to music. Our music community is built on the foundation that to listen to music is part of our psyche- not just a passing trend. Why else would new music be created time and time again? Unlike other music websites we operate with a strong music community ethos that allows you to learn how to promote a band while also giving you the opportunity to sell music online ethically and without having to go through the traditional music distribution channels. New bands! Get involved!
"The foundation for responses to aural discrimination" says the article "is laid from the third trimester in utero (Wilcox, 1999, p. 29) and continues through age three. The quality of aural discrimination experiences will affect children's listening, singing, communication, and reading skills throughout their lives."
"Research shows that infants who are sung to and talked to a lot develop greater phonemic awareness and later develop larger vocabularies. It has been reported that in utero, the fetus hears all sounds as "musical" through the amniotic fluid. Toddlers often join in singing with others, and create "infant songs" on their own while they play. Young children who miss these all-important interactions are often less expressive and sometimes delayed in their speech, and may be shy in communicating with others. They may not sing naturally on their own or with a group. This is music's gentle reminder to us that when music tenderly plants the seeds of aural discrimination, it is essential that adult caregivers nurture that seed through daily musical experiences that incorporate listening, singing, and moving to music in our child care centers."
