This article is a summary of the influence on the author's practice of classroom observation of four- and five-year-old children working in music. It suggests that a strong emphasis on music in the Reception year is important both for musical and aesthetic development, and for the development of basic formal and social skills across the curriculum.
The recordings referred to in this article will be included with the cassette tape issued with the British Journal of Music Education, Volume 7, No. 3, published in November 1990.
