Early musical learning

Our youngest learners are innately musical in their vocalisations and everyday exploration of the world around them, but musical play and sound exploration as areas of learning and development are sometimes shied away from in ECE settings. Musical experiences can often be limited to teacher-led mat-time waiata and songs that may not allow opportunities for children to explore their own ideas or the sound world more broadly.

This webinar, with Greta Bull-Crossan (Infant and Toddler Head Teacher, Bear Park Hobsonville), will discuss ways musical play can be supported and empowered across infant, toddler and preschool age groups. The conversation will provide teachers with fun and approachable practice-based sound and music ideas for recognising and extending musical behaviours and exploration, and empower them to reframe their own self-beliefs around being capable to create meaningful musical and sound learning experiences for children.
