MUSIC FOR YOUNG CHILDREN
MUSIC DEVELOPMENT: AGES & STAGES Active learning
(play) (p. 3) Factors: mental
capacity, environment and physical growth/development
Interesting so children want to keep trying when they fail
Games not “exercises”
Social development (p. 3) One-to-one music play
between parent & infant Group activity w/teacher
Sharing & taking turns, leading & following
Help the shy, antisocial or inhibited child
Empathy, sensitivity & understanding of group dynamics
Be fair & firm Sense of humor
MUSIC DEVELOPMENT: AGES & STAGES Language development
(p. 4) To teach elements of
music: beat, rhythm, timbre & phrasing
Infants’ babbling sounds and subconscious “singing” during play and language learning
Adults stimulate language development with “sound” & “word” plays, rhymes, chants
These singing & rhythms prepare child’s ear for rhythms of music
Creativity and imagination (p. 4) Music education develops
creativity, manifesting in ability to improvise
Express ideas, thoughts & feelings
Improvising within a framework
“How can you move in your space?”
“Tell me… in your singing voice.” Spontaneous, original
individual or group thought or idea
Process of creativity, not the product
All children may be creators
OVERVIEW OF MUSIC PEDAGOGY Textbook p. 5 Create a “musically
stimulating environment”
