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:

  • A Unique Child
  • Positive Relationships
  • Enabling Environments

The guidance is co-badged by The British Association of Early Childhood Education and Youth Music and will be available to download for free via their websites, with other supporting resources.

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.

About the hub.

The Tri-borough Music Hub is a centralised Local Authority service which receives core funding from Arts Council England. It is the lead organisation that oversees the delivery of music education in three West London boroughs: the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham; and City of Westminster. We work with schools, children and young people and the music workforce.
