All Aboard - Through the Seasons with Mini Minstrels : Fantastic Music Plans to Teach Young Children

There is no need to explain the well researched social, emotional and developmental benefits of exposing our children to music from a very young age.

The second in a series of 'All Aboard' music books, will enable anyone who has a need or desire to bring music to young children (nurseries, pre-schools, Foundation stage or someone wanting to set up their own music education classes).

The fun and educational music lesson plans within are easy to use and follow and cover many of the topics and learning goals for the Early Years Foundation Stage.

We have taken away much of the time that it takes to plan and prepare enabling you to run quality music classes without the need to have a musical background.

Inside you will find ten themed music lesson plans, easy to follow instructions, comprehensive preparation sheets detailing the music tracks, instruments and props needed as well as themed colouring pages that can be photocopied for the children to use.

The plans focus on the seasonal and cultural events that take place throughout the year and which will provide you with elements to fit in with your own learning topics. This book takes a very sensory approach to learning, using music as the tool to teach colours, shapes, rhyme and rhythm, counting, knowledge and understanding of the world and so much more. The ideas are very new and exciting and inspire and promote creativity, imagination and self expression. The book uses visual props, toys and different textured materials.

This book is packed with ideas and is right up with modern technology using music downloads and an MP3 player so that the music available is not limited to a single CD.

This gives the ability to have a child lead class. If you are looking for something modern, new and exciting to enhance your music sessions then this is for you.
