| How to teach music to young children |
| Young children need music learning to capture their imagination. I have found the answer to making music fun for young musicians. It's called Poco a Poco. These fine music resources have transformed my teaching. I have been able to engage my younger students with activities and worksheets, composing and performing. There are 4 programs: Rhythm and Note Values, Musical Instruments, Notation and Pitch (Treble Clef) and Notation and Pitch (Bass Clef). I have been through the whole program with some students and printed off other sections for older students. I have used the program with beginners, piano and flute students. Thoroughly recommended for teachers and parents. Contact: pocoapoco@optusnet.com.au |
