Description
For future early education teachers, this text describes the rationale and techniques for using music with infants, toddlers, and young children through the age of five...and the developmentally appropriate stages for its introduction. Coverage is built on a strong foundation of research and theory, incorporating findings in the field and the suggestions of users. The authors take a developmental approach to the role of music in the life of the young child, and offer a sound program for successfully bringing music into the early childhood educational environment.
