Support Children’s Development with Music Express aesthetic qualities through

movement of children’s bodies as they listen to, perform, and create music

Stimulate children to experiment with how sound is created through their voices or musical instruments, to recognize songs, and to explore melodies by varying tempo, rhythm, tone, and volume


Support Children’s Development with Music Include listening activities by asking for

a response, remembering a song or parts of a song, recognizing musical instruments, focusing on sound, and developing auditory discrimination

Extend vocabulary, learn word and sound patterns through singing and listening


Explore Dimensions of Music Beat: An accent of sound or a continuing

series of accents Melody: A sequence of tones of varying

pitches organized in a rhythmically meaningful way

Pitch: The highness or lowness of a tone on a musical scale

Rhythm: A sense of movement and patterns in music created by beats, the duration and volume of sounds, and the silences between sounds


More Dimensions of Music Tempo: A sense of slowness or

rapidity in music Timbre (TAM-bur): The unique tone

quality of a voice or a musical instrument

Tone: An individual musical sound Volume: The softness or loudness of

a sound


Songs and Singing Singing can be

experienced alone or shared with others

Songs encourage children to make up new words and to move with the music

Singing with children throughout daily routines nurtures important learning connections

Enthusiastic teacher participation encourages the development of children’s musical ability


Introduction of Classical Music Research has shown that classical music

has a significant effect on the brain Gradually introduce classical background

music into the environment Think about when and why you want to

have music playing Be intentional

Choose selections carefully Children should not be deprived of the

whole musical picture because they are too young to understand it


Sequence of Introducing Musical Sounds, Instruments Introduce recordings children can

sway to Have children clap to rhythm Use wind chimes and music boxes Introduce instruments one at a time Have children play in groups Use jingle bells Experiment with vibrations


Music and Movement Activities Friends Go Marching Dance to cultural music Interpret instrumental music Partners “Go In and Out the Window” Balance beanbags as you move Twist on paper plates to Chubby

Checker Move with scarves


Art Across the Curriculum Connect art to everything you do Encourage the use of art vocabulary Combine art and math on a regular

basis Use art to explore scientific principles Promote literacy and brain

development Art is multimodal and multisensory

learning


Art and Science

Discover what a specific material can do and what the child can do to control it

Observe what happens when colors are mixed together

Notice what happens when flour and water are combined

Experiment with thick paint and thin paint


Art and Science Discover what happens when you press

down hard or lightly with a brush or crayon on paper

Observe what happens when paint is brushed over a crayon picture

Determine what occurs when different ingredients are mixed together


Connect Music, Movement with Areas of Curriculum Use music and musical activities to

promote mathematical thinking Contributes to language curriculum by

introducing vocabulary, sound patterns, and literacy skills

Supports social studies by bringing into the classroom music, musical instruments, and dances from around the world

Incorporate books


Technology Art and music can be enhanced by using

Overhead projectors Cameras Photocopiers Tape recorders/CDs/MP3 players Videotapes Computer technology

ALWAYS preview software so you know it is developmentally appropriate and meets your educational objectives


Multicultural/Anti-Bias Activities

Bring the arts into the classroom by Displaying prints and books that include art Listening to world music Inviting community artists to visit or going to

their studios Taking field trips to galleries, museums,

performances, and public art displays

Multicultural instruments and art materials should always be available

Use music and art projects that reflect both ancient and modern cultures


Art and Special Needs Children Art and music are open-ended, so they

can accommodate the needs of each and every child

Adaptations Art center Music center Materials Implements


Sharing Art and Music with Families Help families understand why art and

music are important Explain stages of art and music

development Encourage art, music and movement to

happen in the home environment Suggest materials, spaces, and

togetherness


Be A Facilitator and Observer of Art and Music Do not focus on the outcome or product—focus on the process

Facilitate and observe Do not evaluate/judge art work or try to elicit

responses

Provide space, materials, and time Use ART TALK and MUSIC TALK Always try songs, materials and activities

first before introducing them to the children Model appropriate use of instruments,

materials and implements


Guidance Guidelines in Art and Music Centers Clarify goals and objectives for each center Establish rules and limits to guide children

toward responsibility Ensure that a wide variety of art and music

activities are available in many places in the room

Mess is okay in art, noise is ok in music Different types of instruments and art

materials require an understanding of how to use them appropriately


Use of Food in Art Projects Considerations

Sends mixed messages about playing with food

World hunger Expense Cultural sensitivity Allergies Self-regulation skills of toddlers Food products such as flour, cornstarch,

salt, and food coloring are acceptable Alternative choices


Tips for Displaying Children’s Art Display art in the classroom Display art at the children’s eye-level Change the art displays frequently Mount or frame art like in a museum Display all types of creations, not just

the best or all at one time Avoid visual over-stimulation Use different methods to display art

work


Music Tips for Teachers Be aware that music activities prepare

the brain for listening and more difficult tasks by preparing the brain to work from both hemispheres

Invite families to participate in your music experiences

Use a variety of approaches for including music and movement Flannel board, puppets, simple props,

books


Music Tips for Teachers Know the songs well

Sing them in their entirety, not phrase by phrase

Incorporate simple actions into the songs Cross midline
