Have you ever stopped to listen to a tui sing? Or tapped your toe to a song on the radio? When we think of sharing music with young children in grooup settings we oftn think about singing nursery rhymes, but music is much more than that. Music is the soundtrack that accompanies every part of our lives, and a means of communication that is available to every person. Children learn when they become increasingly involved in a range of music experiences which are meaningful to their community. They also learn much from the attitudes and involvement of the adults around them. In this book you will find a hands on and practical guide to providing music experiences for babies and young children in early childhood centres, homes and playgroups. It will help you equip a music play area, understand the different aspects of the music curriculum and plan your group music programme. Making Music Together will open your eyes to the expressive sounds all around you and how to share this music with children.
