Musical Lives of Young Children

For courses in Methods and Materials of Elementary Education in the department of Music; also appropriate for graduate-level courses in Early Childhood Music and Elementary Music. This text uses an innovative approach to teaching music to young children, using research findings to determine and substantiate good practice. It is designed to be valuable to music teachers, early childhood and elementary teachers, parents, emphasizing the belief that the nurturing of children's musical interest is of great import to their development and emotional lives. The more each teacher or parent knows and understands young children and the complex interactions of the learning process, the better able they are to judge what is best for a single child or group of children.Flohr, John W. is the author of 'Musical Lives of Young Children', published 2004 under ISBN 9780130486943 and ISBN 0130486949.
