This kind of play with music is easy to facilitate no matter who you are you just need the right kind of instrument and a little bit of guidance. This is why our program focuses heavily on giving children meaningful play with pitch during the critical years for auditory development. When it comes specifically to preschool children, modern research shows us that developing a strong sense of pitch happens in early childhood.

Most of the early ed standards for music involve movement, appreciation, exposure and exploration with shakers and sticks. Raising the Standards for Early Childhood Music Education Science and social studies are touched on through themes and through the lesson plans that accompany each video lesson. We identify colors, read lyrics, sing about short syllables, practice patterning and sequencing and much more!
