Music and Movement

Incorporating time-tested songs, ideas, suggestions and concepts for using music and movement with young children, this best-selling textbook was written with children—and the child at heart—in mind. This new edition encourages teachers to become an advocate for music and movement in early education, use the lessons to inspire their young students to move and groove, and become active participants in the process, themselves. A “process not product” methodology infused throughout this core textbook provides a comprehensive and current survey of professional research while maintaining the link between theory and practice, encouraging teachers and caregivers to attend to the importance of research and contemporary thought regarding music and movement education.

 The seventh edition has been updated to include all of the new standards for music and movement, new guidelines and practices, suggestions for lesson planning and curriculum alignment, strategies for teaching exceptional students, and more songs and activities for students in preschool through early primary grades
