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”

“Cultivate musical sensitivity…”

“…through natural musical expression such as Singing Playing and Moving to music”

Children’s capabilities depend on age/stage of development
