Kodály in particular spent a great deal of effort on developing beautiful singing voices for young children. 2 nded., Pearson, 2012 Music for Young ChildrenĪny of the music methods (e.g., Kodály, Orff) mentioned in Chapter 4 offer sequential learning for children.

He sought to provide authentic ways for children to express themselves and developed scaffolding to better harness and understand children’s musical development.
Turner (2008), building upon the work of Edwin Gordon and Reggio Emilia, thought considerably about children’s representation through the arts. Many times, however, adults are at a loss to understand or interpret what it is children are saying to us, or to appreciate how profound it might be. If they can express themselves through these modes, it is logical that they can learn through them as well. Instead, children express themselves through movement, sound, and art. How important are the arts as a mode of expression for children? Children, especially very young children, cannot express themselves fluently either through speech or writing-two modes of communication that adults use almost exclusively. Zoltán Kodály, Children’s Day Speech, 1951 Arts as a Means of Expression for Young Children Thus it is too late to begin teaching at school, because a child stores a mass of musical impressions before school age, and if what is bad predominates, then his fate, as far as music is concerned, has been sealed for a lifetime. What a child has heard in his first six years of life cannot be eradicated later. It also explores musical activities and repertoires appropriate for young children.
