Building Bridges – Building Early Childhood Music Collaborations

Sep 24, 2019

How partners in music collaborations can enhance young children’s learning and development.

Friday 18 October 2019, 9:00am – 4:00pm
Room 605, Rolle Building, University of Plymouth

Nicola Burke will lead an exploration into how partners in a music collaboration can enhance young children’s learning and development.

Working together, musicians and practitioners/teachers can support children to foster their creativity, imagination, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and emotional development, as well as their linguistic and literacy skills. Throughout the day there will be opportunities to build and develop practice by networking with people who are fascinated with early years music and taking part in a range of lively workshops and conversations.

Nicola encourages people to recognise and value young children’s music making and to acknowledge that everyone is born musical. Guided by these beliefs she has written the guidance document Musical Development Matters (Early Education, 2018).
