Music is a way of knowing, one of the multiple intelligences described by Howard Gardner, as essential as reading, writing and mathematics. Singing, dancing, listening to music, and creating music should be a part of every child’s daily experience in the early childhood classroom.

By the end of this module, you will be able to:

• Explain how music supports children’s learning and development.
• Create music-related learning activities designed to teach curriculum.
