Music, a way of life for the young child
Kathleen M. Bayless (Author), Marjorie E. Ramsey
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 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 program for successfully bringing music into the early childhood educational environment. This volume includes a developmental table in the age-specific chapters charts the musical abilities and level of appreciation of children at each stage of development, from birth to age six and numerous age-specific songs and rhythms that appear within the narrative. Both words and music are listed within the text, written in keys that can be easily sung by both children and adults
