This
'Musical Garden for
Babies' extends an
invitation to babies of
up to 18 months and their
parents to join in a
musical game. Making
music together at this
early stage provides the
child with nourishment in
three respects: for body,
soul and brain. Through
songs, rhymes and
movement games children
and those closest to them
can enjoy discovering
their own voices and
bodies. Simple
instruments such as wood
blocks, rattles and drums
lead the child into the
world of sounds. Research
has confirmed the
positive influence of
musical activity on the
overall development of
the child - in its
musical ability, its
social relationships and
its intelligence. A
lesson in the 'Musical
Garden for Babies' is
structured around the
following activities:
greeting and farewell
songs - rhymes and games
for bouncing baby on your
knee - finger games and
songs to develop
awareness of the body -
rocking songs and
lullabies - songs for
dancing and moving about
to - echo games -
introducing simple
instruments - playing
with pieces of cloth -
listening to music. The
teacher's book contains
information on infant
development, explanations
of the principles behind
teaching and plenty of
ideas for lessons. The
song books with CD make
it possible to take the
'sound environment' of
the music lesson home
with you and to keep
singing and enjoying the
songs with the
family.
