Tuning in to Children
Tuning in to Children is a new training handbook which will offer a set of guiding principles for early years practitioners and music specialists who want to collaborate on devising new programmes of activity or enhance their existing music practice.
Developed by Youth Music, Tuning in to Children offers a framework for planning and implementing a programme of training and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) to deepen musicians' and early years practitioners' understanding of young children and their music making.
Written by early childhood music specialist Nancy Evans, Tuning in to Children explores the specific skills required by both practitioner and musician to support children's learning through music.
The handbook will be available to purchase online in August 2008. If you would like to be notified of when Tuning in to Children is available to pre-order please email marketing(at)youthmusic.org.uk
