Music Express Foundation Stage provides a two-year rolling programme of active, holistic, play-based learning that is imaginative, inspiring and fun for 3-5 year olds.
On the CD-ROM there are videoclips for the children to watch, exemplar clips of practitioners using the material with their children (an unrehearsed, sampler of how you can expect children to respond), and videoclips of a range of useful instruments.
Also on the CD-ROM there is an extensive full-colour picture gallery of printable images, some of which are interactive. All the melody lines of songs are given as an aid to music readers. Single printouts of these and all the story texts may be made for use within the setting.
In addition, the CD-ROM contains a carefully cross-referenced directory of the Learning intentions behind each of the activities.
This is a resource which has been written for Foundation Stage Practitioners and assumes no prior musical knowledge or experience.No music reading is required!
Music Express Foundation Stage provides a solid basis on which to continue building children's skills, understanding and enjoyment of music. It leads directly into Music Express Years 1-6 which follows the English QCA scheme of work for music, and provides complete coverage of the Music National Curriculum of England, of Wales and of Northern Ireland and the 5-14 National Guidelines for Scotland.
