by Susan Young (Author)

Music in Early Childhood is an accessible and practical handbook, which introduces theories and pedagogical approaches for early childhood music education from birth to 8 years and explains their practical application.

Understanding the theories and philosophies behind music education and how these translate into practice is the key to being an effective music educator with young children. This book provides a comprehensive overview of these theories and philosophies. Organised in an easy-to-read format that summarises each approach and theory, the book clearly maps out how these theories are applied in present-day practice. Also included are a wide range of helpful practical examples and activity ideas based on the work of expert educators. This book aims:
  • to inform educators of theories and philosophies of learning and teaching in music education for young children and what they look like in practice.
  • to inform educators of the history and breadth of music education methods, and how they relate to the present.
  • to help educators develop a theory-informed conception of music education that enables them to make informed decisions about the design and direction of their practice.

This book is an essential resource for all early childhood music educators, experienced or just starting out, who want to develop their practice in working with young children as effectively as possible. It will promote an enquiring, reflective and imaginative approach to practice.
