Luzerne County Community College

Subject:

Early Childhood Education

Description:

This course examines the roles music and movement play in child development across all domains and on brain development, the development of movements, the development and health of the child voice, the importance of movement, music, and rhythm activities for children, and basic music theory. It includes the use of methods and appropriate materials for developing the physical and musical capabilities of the young child through planned activities. Looking at music and movement as both art forms and intelligences, the course examines how the classroom teacher supports the music teacher's role and uses music as an entry point to other curriculum areas.
