Synopsis:

Children love music and musical activities, and early years practitioners know it. But many lack the confidence to help children use and enjoy music throughout the day. Sounds like playing is here to help. This is a different kind of music book for the early years. Starting from the child and using principles of early childhood education, Sounds like playing shows practitioners that almost any aspect of children’s learning can be enhanced through music. Their knowledge of the world, of language, maths, history and each other can all be developed and expressed through music – both outdoors and in. And it doesn’t have to be complicated. Instead, Sounds like playing shows how children and practitioners can play singing games using just two notes, make their own instruments, design music areas indoors and out, and even write their own music. The book and its accompanying CD aim to help practitioners develop children’s own interests through music and to enjoy having music in the setting themselves. Because, more than anything else, music is fun.
