Preschool Music Singing Games and Activities

This course has been designed to serve as a resource for parents, caregivers and preschool teachers to aide in providing young children with enriching musical experiences.  The course introduces over 20 musical games and singing activities using traditional and folk songs that are simple and engaging for children.  The activities in the videos focus on three areas: how to help children feel the beat in music, how to sing simple melodies and learning about music through movement.  The course includes additional activities and resources to help children explore music independently or with an aide of a teacher or parent. Resources for music listening, learning about music instruments and creating music centers are included.  The course also provides instruction on how to teach music successfully to young children.  Lessons include how to teach music by rote, what to expect developmentally from preschool children and how to encourage participation and successfully teach young children. If you have a young child at home or professionally care for young children, this course is for you.

Requirements Each music activity and song includes sheet music, written instructions and a demonstration video to watch, so being able to read music and prior musical knowledge are not required. The songs and activities are simple to learn for both preschoolers and caregivers.
