World Music Pedagogy, Volume I: Early Childhood
Education is a resource for practicing and pre-service
music educators wishing to explore the intersection of early
childhood music pedagogy and music in cultural contexts across
the world. Focusing on the musical lives of young children in
preschool, kindergarten, and grade 1 (ages birth to 7 years),
this volume provides an overview of age-appropriate world
music teaching and learning encounters that include informal
versus formal teaching approaches and selections of
appropriate musical and associated learning aids and
materials. It implements multi-modal approaches encompassing
singing, listening, movement, storytelling, and instrumental
performance.
As young children are introduced to their first family and
neighborhood environments, they can also grow into ever-
widening concentric circles of cultural communities through
child-centered encounters in music and the related arts, which
can serve as a vehicle for children to know themselves and
others more deeply. Centered around playful engagement and
principles of informal instruction, the chapters reveal
techniques and strategies for developing a child’s musical and
cultural knowledge and skills, with attention to music’s place
in the development of young children. This volume explores
children’s perspectives and capacities through meaningful (and
fun!) engagement with music.Book, 184 pages.
