How Children Develop Musically How Children Develop Musically

Every child is different but the sequence in which their musicalabilities unfold is almost always the same The exact timing can vary a lot so donrsquottake the timeline below too seriously but do use it as a guide to what to watch outfor and to help you choose the most appropriate instruments and play activities

0-1 Babies - Birth to 1 year0-3 Months Responds to voice touch and eye contact fromday one Lots of singing and gentle rhythmic movement arenurturing for them and for you tooResponds to sounds and vibrations from the natural world andfrom instruments which you might play for them or help themto play

3-6 Months Pays attention to own name to familiar soundsand singing - be sure to repeat (and repeat and repeat)Actively tracks movement so introduce instruments that rollBegins to sense and move to the beatLearns to grasp and hold - loves to rattle and shake things

6-12 Months Can hold an instrument or beater and makehitting shaking and rattling motionsMimics simple actions - so if you play an instrument they will try it out like you

1-2 Toddlers - 1 to 2 yearsPlays on own and initiates own play so offer a selection ofinstruments to exploreStarts to understand own accomplishments and will show you their musical discoveriesLoves to imitate and will copy the way you hold and play an instrument

2-3 Young children - 2 to 3 yearsWill join in with other children during play so get a bandtogether of all ages Offer a selection of instruments large andsmall and do lots of swapping so everyone gets a go Can playwith more subtlety and will spend time exploring and repeatinginteresting sounds Can also handle more intricate handmovements so use instruments which demand two-handedcoordination and a little more stamina to play

FREE PLAYmeans children can play by themselves watched but not directed

GUIDED PLAYmeans yoursquoll need to be activelyinvolved - guiding leading directing

3-4 Foundation Stage One3 to 4 years

Look out for these symbols
