Music Making in a 0-3 Classroom: Benefits, Facilitation, and Fun!

Úna Shea

Description

Making music has the potential to be hugely beneficial, but also can be intimidating to begin to facilitate. And, above all else, it can always be fun for those involved. Through this presentation, there is discussion on the multifaceted role that music making can play within a community for children ages 0-3. It provides information on how making music, in different ways, can support the physical and language development of a child in this age group. It then continues by showing examples of how different types of music making can be presented in the classroom. This presentation is aimed at guides and assistants in toddler communities, but also has the potential to be enjoyed by families and out of school communities as well.
