Introduction to Early Years Music Making with Nicola Burke
This session will help participants to develop their Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) music practice and provision and will specifically explore:
- A basic introduction to music in the Early Years for non-music specialists and those new to working with younger children
- What child-led music practice can look like working with younger children (0-5 Years)
The session will be led by Educator, Researcher and Author Nicola Burke. Nicola has worked extensively with Early Childhood Settings, Arts & Music organisations, projects and programmes, Music Education Hubs and schools to develop their understanding to enable meaningful musical experiences for young children. Nicola also developed the Musical Development Matters guidance which she will refer to during the session.
Tickets: Full price £10. There is also a pay what you can option available.
