- Colouring pages for each of the themes that can be photocopied for the children to use.
The lesson plans within each book are easy to follow, great fun for the adults as well as the children, educational, they cover many of the topics and learning goals for the Early Years Foundation Stage, in particular creative development and will teach the children their colours, shapes, countries and much more all to music!
The benefits of teaching music, to our children from a young age, is very well researched in terms of their social, emotional and educational development and our books will enable you to run quality music classes whether you are musical or not!
You don’t need to be musical for your children to become musical. The books and plans can be used by anyone who has a need or desire to bring music to young children’s ears.
The books take a very sensory approach to learning, using music as the tool to teach colours, shapes, rhyme and rhythm, counting, knowledge and understanding of the world and so much more. The ideas are very new and exciting and inspire and promote creativity, imagination and self expression. The books use visual props, toys and different textured materials. This book is packed with ideas and is right up with modern technology using music downloads and an MP3 player so that the music available is not limited to a single CD. This gives the ability to have a child lead class.
If you are looking for something modern, new and exciting to enhance your music sessions then these books are for you.
If you are looking for a single lesson plan on a particular topic, then the individual plans will be able to be be purchased, downloaded and printed. Please keep a regular eye on our blog for news on downloadable lesson plans.
