A Music Learning Theory for Newborn and Young Children / Hardcover

This book is about the most critical learning period in every individual�s musical life: birth to age five. Written for early childhood teachers and interested parents, this is the most extensive book of its kind by perhaps the leading educator and researcher in music education. Professor Gordon shares insights and research from almost 20 years guiding young children in music learning. Completely revised and updated, this new edition explains how young children learn to audiate and to develop an under standing of music�and how children should experience music as early as possible, in much the way they experience language. New to this edition is a chapter on initiating and organizing a music preschool.
