Music Play: The Early Childhood Music Curriculum,
Guide for Parents, Teachers, and Caregivers is an
innovative, complete, full-color book and CD
resource for early childhood music classes.
Children are naturally fascinated with
sound and movement play as they teach themselves
how to function in the world. Moreover,
each child born on this earth has the potential
to learn music. Without early, sequential music
development guidance, however, the potential
for true music understanding and enjoyment is
left underdeveloped in most children.
This developmentally appropriate music
series is based on the groundbreaking book A
Music Learning Theory for Newborn and Young
Children (Edwin E. Gordon, GIA Publications,
Inc., 1997, G-3487, $26.00 on page 98) as well as years of practical and experimental
research. Music Play is designed to assist teachers, parents, and caregivers of newborn and
young children in the development of basic music skills such as singing, rhythm chanting,
and moving.
The Music Play guide includes 57 songs and rhythm chants in a variety of tonalities
and meters and over 200 music and movement activities designed to assist you in
organizing sequential music and movement experiences for newborn and young children.
Each of the songs and rhythm chants found in the guide is recorded on the accompanying
compact disc or cassette.
The beautiful full-color book and CD set includes photos of children engaged in
music activities. The book includes notation and lesson plans adapted to the individual
needs of each child, as well as a complete introduction to how young children learn when
they learn music.
