“Music Play” is a guided playtime for young children that focuses on music. A skillful “Music Play” instructor weaves a variety of short, yet rich, songs and chants to musically “bathe” children in music, the same way children are “bathed” in language.
What does a “Music Play” instructor do with the musical responses of the children?
The “Music Play” instructor listens and watches for musical responses made by the children. Vocal sounds are woven into the musical context of lesson songs and chants. Movement responses are noticed, copied and adapted to lesson music.
