The Importance of Early Childhood Music.
The media's popularization of findings from studies showing a causal link between music training and spatial reasoning in young children (Rauscher et al., 1993, 1997) has attracted the attention of many and has attracted attention in the inclusion of music in preschool education.
Music Teachers
Curriculum models that underpin this point of view are credible. However, music teachers need to remind policymakers of other valid reasons for learning music in the early childhood curriculum. The purpose of this article is to investigate part of the work in music education that validates the inclusion of music for the sake of its importance in early childhood learning models.
Music intelligence
Music is a way of knowing. According to Harvard, psychologist Howard Gardner (1983), music intelligence is as important as logic: mathematical intelligence, linguistic intelligence, spatial intelligence, bodily - kinesthetic intelligence, interpersonal intelligence and intra-personal intelligence.
According to Thomas Armstrong:
“Intelligence is electroplated by participating in a type of culturally valued activity and that the growth of the individual in such an activity follows a pattern of development. Each activity has its own time in early childhood.”
Music, an elementary life skill
Making music is as much an elementary life skills as walking or talking. Peery and Peery (1987) suggest that children should be exposed to, trained and wound with music for their own sake. That is, it is a birthright for all people to be able to sing in harmony and march in a good way (Levinowitz and Guilmartin, 1989, 1992, 1996). To ensure a comprehensive learning experience, music must be recorded in early childhood. Practically speaking, the argument that music education is not a fringe, does not find objective support.
Misschien is het beter om de blog wat te verdelen en meer tussenkopjes te maken. Dit zal het blog meteen overzichtelijker maken en laat makkelijker lezen toe. En zie hier en daar toch wel een paar taal begrippen waar ik niet uit kom.....
Heb deze zin eruit gehaald omdat ik het woordje gereedschappen niet in verband kan brengen met muziekinstrumenten? 'Echte muziekinstrumenten, zoals gereedschappen, kunnen dan eenvoudigweg uitbreidingen of versterkingen worden van het vermogen van het lichaam om muzikaal expressief te zijn'.
Zie dit nu niet als een aanval maar als hulp en opbouwende kritiek, het komt ons tenslotte allemaal ten goede als bezoekers komen en hier ook daadwerkelijk blijven.
