What’s So Special About The Musical Child Approach?
1st. It’s not a franchise — we don’t tie you down. Musical Child offers teaching resources, programs and training in early learning through music for all educators, speech pathologists and music therapists working with babies, toddlers and children aged 3-6 years. You simply buy our resources and start using them straight away.
2nd. The approach is about the child improving their social skills by playing music together and learning through music.
3rd. We help you plan your own group sessions where the children are learning musical and other skills: listening and dancing to great music, moving to music, singing, playing instruments, improvising and creative play.
4th. You will definitely increase your expertise in curriculum design and then you will deliver it your way. Our courses are about helping you design your very own music programs — working with your creative energies.
5th. Quick results — after you deliver 3 or 4 music sessions based on our approach, you’ll start to notice big improvements in the children’s skills and confidence, and importantly, in your own sense of fulfilment.

Even More Reasons to Trust Musical Child – EYLF and Beyond
1. We explicitly link to the Early Years Learning Framework for Australia in all courses. We regard children as competent and capable.
2. To keep you up to date, Musical Child adopts the latest research findings and approaches from around the globe, from Helsinki to Sydney.
3. You can be sure of an international perspective because we regard access to music as one of the 5 rights of all children as proclaimed by the UNESCO commissioned International Music Council.
4. When you follow our approach you’ll discover that regular music sessions stimulate the children to play with music and express their creativity. It doesn’t matter if the child is new to the group, everyone can join in at any point.
5. Parents and educators report that children spontaneously play musically after the music sessions even if they seem shy or reserved during the session. As one parent told us: “He is not afraid to burst into song”.
Why Is Music So Important In Early Childhood Education?
There are musical benefits linked to all of the 5 Learning Outcomes in the Australian National Framework. Here are just a few —
1. Music is key to personal, group and cultural identity
2. It engages and connects to past and present artists and art-works globally
3. It releases emotions and develops skills necessary for wellbeing
4. It enhances neural networks and supports learning

Just to let you know about the amazing influence that the "Pack Away" song has had on our other groups and families. A couple of the Mums from the group had started using the song at home to encourage packing away behaviour with their children. These families previously had little routine and loved the organisation. The song starts and the children automatically start to pop toys back into boxes. They automatically started singing the tune when it was pack away time at "normal" playgroup. It is now a routine part of our tidying up time.
Amazing! Thank you!! Cathy
Thank you for your many presentations over the years. Our members always leave your workshops with smiles of delight and satisfaction, having been given both theoretical background and practical ideas for them to use in their work with young children.
Have received parcel and it's fabulous. Thank you!
The other group that I started with last year absolutely flourishes and the results with your lesson plans is AMAZING.
I'm from Spain, I run my own business, a Nursery School where we teach English through Music and movement. I love your Lessons Plans because they are easy to follow and they organise my time!! I usually teach vocabulary with your songs, we are about to start In My Boat [Lesson Plan] but up to now, children have learnt a lot! Thanks for your Lessons!! It´s an excellent material and I love it.
The children love all the songs, and the use of so many instruments and props and doing something different all the time, they just couldn`t wait to see what was going to happen next. I find that your lessons are really working well and the children are really getting into all the songs now and even the youngest child is doing some of the actions to the songs. I would highly recommend your music lessons to other child care educators.
We've been using Musical Child as our main music program since it's inception. As an educator, I have used the activity suggestions but also modified them to suit our unique bunch of children. I like it that the traditional song tracks don't have the voice. Other commercial versions of traditional songs have a voice that is too high-pitched.
Our instructors have been enjoying the program. It is a very useful tool, and very thorough.
I have received and have been using my new music program!! The kids LOVE it, as do I!! It is so easy to use, and so much fun. In fact, I'm not sure who is having more fun, me or the children! It is an amazing program and would love others to experience it!!
Thanks for publishing a well-structured lesson plans with clear explanation. I’m going to use it for my new music centre’s main course.
I am very grateful for your understanding and willingness to help me out!! Thank you!!
I really appreciate the Musical Child curriculum because it connects the emotional part of the brain with the logical part.
Thank you for creating this curriculum - I searched long and hard to find something of this quality, and would have ended up spending a very long time writing one myself if I hadn't found yours!
It was great to speak with you today. I love what I have looked at so far and thank you for piecing that information together for me. I am so excited that I have managed to find a program that ticks all the boxes.
This is the very best music program for preschoolers in the country!
