3. MUSIC AND THE YOUNG MIND [ Book published by MENC/R&L Publishing Co., USA] 

CURRENT AND FUTURE TEACHERS will find great value in this publication as they work to base their early childhood education practice on scientifically based research. Upon completion of study with Music and the Young Mind, students will have an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of early childhood education from its history to present issues and future trends.

This comprehensive book presents developmentally appropriate early education curriculum for children from birth through 8 years old and addresses some of the most compelling questions about early experience, such as how important music is to early brain development. It is a comprehensive resource offering practical advice for developing an effective curriculum for young children. By focusing on the quality in early childhood programs and the principles that define developmentally appropriate practices, it motivates early childhood professionals to rely on current knowledge of child growth, development, and learning when making decisions about their practices, to view families and communities as integral parts of early childhood programs, and to prepare environments especially suited to infants and young children. Contemporary theories and practices of music education including strategies for developing pitch, vocal, rhythmic, instrumental, listening, movement and creative responses in children are presented. It explores the interrelationship of music and academic development in children, and demonstrates how music can enhance and accelerate the learning process.

This book combines the best of research and practical knowledge to give teachers the necessary tools to educate tomorrow's musicians. It is essential reading for all students and teachers of young children.
