Early Childhood Music Level I (EC 101 & EC 501)
This course prepares participants to lead early childhood music experiences in day care centers, Head Start programs or other early childhood educational settings. Through course readings, discussions, and active participation in group music making experiences, students gain an understanding of the musical development of children from infancy through age six, while developing their own innate musicality. Over the course of the semester, students will increase their knowledge, skills, and abilities to implement and assess developmentally appropriate, engaging, and meaningful music experiences in their early childhood program.
Note: Students taking the above course at the graduate level complete additional assignments.
