Early Childhood Music Level I (101 & 501)
These courses prepare day care instructors to teach early childhood music in day care and Head Start programs. Course participants acquire musical knowledge and develop skills through group singing, movement, listening/ear training games, and experiences with rhythm instruments. Emphasis is placed on helping course participants integrate an international folk music curriculum into their educational setting that is shaped to the developmental needs and interests of young children. Day care teachers develop their individual musicality, music literacy skills, and are introduced to the recorder.
Note: Students taking the above course at the graduate level complete additional assignments.
