Music Edutainment? What’s Edutainment!?
Learning doesn’t need to be a boring, laborious, and unrelatable task for kids. It can be a delightful environment filled with laughter, music, fun, excitement, and endless discoveries. Step into the enchanting realm of edutainment!
While not a physical destination, “edutainment” is the fusion of education and entertainment designed to transform learning into an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
When it’s done well, kids won’t feel like they’re being lectured to but are actively engaged in learning because it’s a fun experience.
Overview of Edutainment: Unveiling the World of Fun Learning
Edutainment has been around for decades, if not hundreds of years. There have always been kind teachers who could relate to children and infuse joy, fun, and entertainment into childhood education, but the term “edutainment” wasn’t coined until the 1990s. Walt Disney and some of their childhood programming from the 50s and 60s are considered some of the first nationally syndicated edutainment.
Edutainment takes various forms inside and outside classrooms, utilizing media, games, toys, and experiences to create a fun environment for kids to learn.
The Demand for Positive Learning Experiences
Today, parents are more conscious than ever about the content their children absorb. The shift is evident, with families actively seeking education that provides an uplifting and positive influence for their little ones. Parents are making informed decisions to ensure a better learning experience for their children compared to previous generations - If a learning strategy or program isn’t working, why repeat it over and over again when there are more options available?

Music Edutainment
At JWY, we take the concept of edutainment to the next level by asking, “Why not infuse music with it as well?” We believe music is not just an art form; it's a language that resonates with children of all ages. That's why our approach to music education goes beyond the traditional.
Through these interactive experiences, learning music with JWY becomes a dynamic and enjoyable journey. We’re not doing our jobs right if the kids aren’t simultaneously having fun and learning - which is why music edutainment is a core philosophy of how we teach our students.
Whether it’s learning the ABCs, reading music scales, or just how to move, grove, and wiggle like a wiggle worm, we’re always striving to make music a fun learning experience for kids of all ages.
