Music & Movement: Strengthening Physical Skills in Early Childhood

Discover how babies' and toddlers' earliest musical experiences are deeply connected to movement, sensation and the developing body. This course explores the inherent musical qualities found in toddlers movements, how musical moments permeate through spontaneous physical movement. We help learners to understand how young children musicalities are immersed into movement, and how movement can be musical - even without sounds heard. Through practical activities, observation tasks and real-life examples, learners will develop a deeper understanding of the body's role in musicality and gain confidence in recognising and nurturing musical responses as they emerge in everyday life.
