Publisher Comments:

Experiences in Movement is the education resource for understanding movement's role in the young child's life and education. It is the only book to detail why movement education is vital to the lives and education of young children and how to provide it. It thoroughly describes movement's role in the traditional domains of child development, as well as in the areas of musical and creative development. The author presents an entire movement program, guidelines for music selection and usage, age-appropriate presentation methods and tried and true tips for creating and maintaining a positive learning environment with children on the move.

Synopsis:

EXPERIENCES IN MUSIC AND MOVEMENT helps you develop a movement-oriented setting for teaching children ages birth to eight years. In addition to providing a complete, ready-to-implement movement program, the author presents techniques for weaving movement and music into your day and across your curriculum. Ample resources and appendices include websites and other sources for ordering music, instruments, equipment, and props, and more.
