DESCRIPTION
This module provides a thorough understanding of how young children’s creative learning in and through music may be enabled through focusing on theories of play and creativity in music in the first instance. Connections between young children’s social, psychological and physical development and their learning in music are also made. The employment of culturally appropriate resources for music is central to the practical and experiential aspect of the module. An understanding of the principles of Síolta: The National Quality Framework and Aistear: The Early Childhood Curriculum Framework also informs this work, where themes of Well-being, Identity and Belonging, Communicating, and Exploring and Thinking are explored holistically and interactively through the musical activities of singing, playing, moving, creating, listening, and engaging with digital technology.
