Creative Music For Children PDF Download

Excerpt from Creative Music for Children: A Plan of Training Based on the Natural Evolution of Music, Including the Making and Playing of Instruments Dancing Singing Poetry This book has been prepared especially for those mothers and teachers who have written to me for help in their work with young children. It is not for those who have geniuses to train - for genius makes demands and finds ways peculiarly its own - but for those who wish to give all children more vital, more fundamental, and more joyous experiences in their early musical training; for any who may be interested in the musical training of children, and for all those who wish to see music make a more effectual contribution to character building, home life, and society. My first appeal to teachers in behalf of the child appeared in the Musical Observer for September, 1917. Two years later a monograph on "Primitive Music for Primitive People - a new view of music for children," gave a general statement of the principles underlying the work which forms the subject matter of this book.
