incorporate follow-along activities for children and their parents
or caretakers. Each program contains lively and interactive segments,
inviting children to participate in games, crafts, dance, and song

skills, and socialization. More information is available at http://www.totadoodledo.com/.
Market Need In today’s culture of eroding music education
programs in many cities and communities across the country, Tot-a-Doodle-Do
is dedicated to changing this trend to ensure all children have
access to a quality education that includes music. Research has
shown that musical study develops critical thinking and self discipline
skills and improves a child’s early cognitive development,
basic math and reading abilities, self-esteem, SAT scores, ability
to work in teams, spatial reasoning skills and school attendance.
Also, researchers have found that children involved with music
programs are more likely to graduate from high school and attend
college, and are less likely to be involved with gangs and substance
abuse. Furthermore, music programs give children the opportunity
to explore their creativity, develop skills and interact with other
young people.
