Description
Summary:This book is divided into nine chapters. In some of them, I will try to explain how children are physically developed at particular stages, the relation they have with the music, what are children able to do, and later suggest activities and pre-existing songs, which could be used to teach musical phenomena, such as singing, sight reading, and composition, starting from the age of three years old. I will also speak about class management, as one of the most important effective factors in teaching. According to the anthropologist Alan P.Merriam, children experience music in mUltiple dissensions, particularly as emotional expression, esthetic experience, way of having fun, communication, symbolical representation, bodily expression. With this book, through particular activities, musical games and musical training, I will try to motivate and support the teachers in my country to try a new way of teaching music in the schools, because I believe music education a gift that enhances life and it is the right of every human being. Children would survive without music, but I believe that music makes their life better.
