Music & Movement in Montessori Education
Montessori Academy group is thrilled to announce the launch of our new integrated Music and Movement Program, designed to enrich the educational journey of our children through a harmonious blend of music, movement, and exploration.
This pioneering program seamlessly aligns with our Montessori curriculum, teaching musical concepts with repetition to reinforce learning. Through the daily presentation of this program, children will perfect their motor skills, acquire new knowledge, and thrive in an inclusive environment where every child participates and benefits.
Shifting away from traditional dress-up and entertainment-like extracurricular providers, our program adopts a Montessori educational approach, focusing on the sensitive period for movement and language development. This method not only engages children but also meets all essential Early Years Learning Framework outcomes, ensuring children are connected with, and contribute to the world around them.
In addition to learning about musical concepts (beat, rhythm, tempo, dynamics and pitch), our dedicated educators will introduce children to songs in various languages, diverse dance forms, and musical instruments from different cultures. By incorporating musical activitiesb in from diverse cultures, children develop a strong sense of identity and belonging, while also appreciating cultural diversity
The Music and Movement Program, conceived by our team of eight expert Montessori trainers and educators, each boasting over 14 years of experience in both Montessori and early childhood education, exemplifies our commitment to innovative and effective teaching methods.
