Music for Young Children (Learning Resources: Rudolf Steiner Education)

Lullabies, nursery rhymes, worksongs and rounds form early musical memories. Music feeds the soul and assists human development. Rita Jacobs discusses the important role of different types of music at certain stages of children's growth. She investigates pentatonic and tonal music, looks at the character of musical instruments and gives insights into which instruments suit different children. The book contains 15 songs with a further 14 appended by the translator who is a parent and former teacher.
