(Entertainment-NewsWire.com, August 15, 2015 ) London , Middlesex -- Malbec Products is announcing the release of an introductory product for their new online store. The 'XyloFun' is a wooden Xylophone / Glockenspiel and is aimed to educate children by having fun. The philosophy of James and Frances Morrison, founders of Malbec Products, is to ‘inspire magic in children through the universal language of music'. They believe encouraging children to be creative through music offers them expression and confidence for the future.
The 'Xylo-Fun' is specially designed to promote this philosophy, and includes a free songbook that James and Frances say will even remind the adults of their childhood with classic nursery rhymes to learn and play. The keys on the 'Xylo-Fun' are brightly colored to keep the young from being distracted, and also as they grow older, to help them learn songs such as Mary Had A Little Lamb and Jingle Bells from the color-coded songbook. A unique feature of the design was to add metal keys instead of traditional wooden bars as they found the wooden bars only offered a dull sound, where as the brightly colored metal keys offer a beautiful tone when struck.
Researchers have found that children who learn a musical instrument before they reach the age of 7 have stronger motor skills as it boosts brain connections, which play an important role in their development. Parents are being encouraged to introduce their children to music as early as possible, as those who regularly participate in music are known to perform better in school, which sets the foundation for their future lives. The benefits of music for children are:
- Improved hand-eye coordination - Improved memory building - Improved motor skills - Improved social skills - Boosts confidence
Historical and modern greats knew and understood the power of music. James and Frances are both musical lovers and have seen first hand the joy it can bring people all over the world, from street performers in London England, to the hustle and bustle of slums in India. Frances adds, 'Music is the one and only universal language and once in children's hearts, it will be there forever'.
