Musical Development Matters is a guidance document that has been written to support those who work with young children in Early Childhood: Early Childhood practitioners, teachers, musicians, and parents.
The guidance is split into 4 aspects of musical development:
Hearing & Listening
Vocalising & Singing
Moving & Dancing
Exploring & Playing
It draws upon the following principles specified in the EYFS:
Music interweaves through all areas of learning and development which can be seen throughout the guidance. We hope that the guidance will help those working with young children to recognise and enjoy listening to children’s creative music making, listen to music with children, make music with children and support children’s musical and holistic development.
