MENC is the national organization of music educators (under NAfME) that has put forth standards and guidelines regarding the appropriate developmental musical learning abilities of young children (birth to age 6). This is specifically regarding listening, moving, dancing, singing and playing musical instruments. These guidelines are helpful to educators in determining developmentally appropriate music experiences for young children.
(Edwards, 2013, p. 13-15)
Music Educators National Conference (MENC) Standards: a Part of NAfME (National Association for Music Educators)
MENC Standards
MUE 2211
10
10 MENC Belief Statements (1-5)
1. All children have musical potential
2. Children bring their own unique interests & abilities to the learning environment
3. Very young children are capable of developing critical thinking skills through music ideas.
4. Children come to early childhood experiences from diverse backgrounds
5. Children should experience exemplary musical sounds, activities and materials.
MUE 2211
11
10 MENC Belief Statements (6-10)
6. Children should not be encumbered with the need to meet performance goals
7. Children’s play is their work
8. Children learn best in pleasant and social environments
9. Diverse learning environments are needed to serve the developmental needs of many individual children
10. Children need effective adult models

MENC Standards Example
Basic Stages of Early Musical & Movement Development
and the National Standards—2-3 years old
(Edwards, 2013, pp 13-15)
Listening and Moving to Music: Dance begins. Rhythm is especially appreciated. Children are more able to keep time, follow directions and focus better
Singing: Real singing with words and carrying tunes begins. Children enjoy familiar tunes, sung repeatedly.
Playing Musical Instruments: Interest in making music with real musical instruments and sounds increase.
MUE 2211
13
Developmentally Appropriate Practice with Young Children (Edwards, 2013, p. 17)
Teachers must role model and be actively involved in music activities
The space and time for musical activities needs to be intentional and thought-out both indoors and outdoors for large muscle skills and activities
“Adults in the classroom provide many experiences and opportunities to extend children’s language and musical experiences”—i.e. nursery rhymes, fingerplays, singing, listening, circle and movement play, simple rhythm instrument
Children have daily and various opportunities to express and appreciate music in many forms

Connection
Music Promotes Connection
When kids feel connected in a healthy way, they feel safe and are more able to learn and grow

If singing and dancing in front of people makes you nervous and if you are worried about how your voice sounds, you are in the majority. Most people feel this way. HOWEVER, music and movement with children is NOT about a high-quality performance. It’s about INTERACTION and CONNECTION and LEARNING through playful ways. So, embrace silly, embrace singing whole-heartedly, embrace moving. The children will follow you and adore you for it.
Music= Connection + Learning

Brain connections formed in early years—electric energy between neurons (synapses)
Music enhances the development of these synapses
Left and right brain are stimulated at same time

Brain Development—Birth to 2 Years
Neuron Connections
This picture depicts brain cells (neurons) and circuit connections (synapses) that develop with learning and experiences. This photo shows the circuit connection changes that can occur from infancy to 2 years old. Early childhood is a critical time for making these connections that influence learning for a life time.

Rae Pica-ECE author & expert
There is no other activity that stimulates both the right and left side of the brain more than music. When children are involved in activities that support literacy with music, more of their brain is activated than with literacy activities alone.
Children in musical training score higher in spatial-temporal reasoning (responsible for math and science abilities)

Favorite Musical Artist or Show
Break Out Session
In your small group, get to know each other better. Take turns, introduce yourself and answer one of the following questions—
“If you could meet any musical artist, band, or see any musical performance (including musicals), who/ what would that be?”
“If music isn’t something you think about much, what is your favorite instrument to listen to?”

Phonemic (speech sound) awareness—primary predictor of future reading skills
Rhyming abilities—another important indicator of future reading success
Syllable (beats in words) recognition—music is full of beats
Increased number of vocabulary words
Ability to write or draw more detailed stories
Improved attention span and increased memory

Both are forms of communication
Both read from left to right
Both have print awareness—reading words or reading notes
Both use hearing to discriminate and interpret sound
Both are sensitive to different sounds
Phonological awareness in words
Timbre in music
Both have patterns, sequences, pitch (high/ low), expression, dynamics (quiet/ loud)
Both use fluency or the ability to express clearly.
Literacy: reading, writing, speaking
Music: performing music smoothly and readily
Music and Literacy Similarities and Parallels

Literacy & Young Children
Very young children are taking in new sounds as they are beginning to speak, as taking in new music sounds.
Kinesthetic learning–powerful learning occurs when pairing vocabulary with movement (i.e. moving like a turtle)
New vocabulary is introduced through musical activities—i.e. body parts, action verbs (twisting, wiggling)
Spatial/ positional words and concepts are introduced—i.e. high/ medium/ low; up/ down; behind/ in front; over/ under, on/ off; near/ far
Qualities in time and force are introduced (i.e. slow/ fast, heavy/ light, strong/ weak)
MUE 2211
27
Music can be used to create a culturally aware and culturally accepting environment where all children are valued and respected.
Multicultural music should be incorporated into classroom activities on an ongoing basis—not a tourist approach
This is especially vital in a country such as the US where is extensive diversity
Often preschool is the first-time children become aware of diversity
A Preview–multicultural music and research will be covered more thoroughly in a future class
