Title
Music and Physical Play: What Can We Learn From Early Childhood Teachers in Kenya?
Abstract
Vignettes that capture Kenyan early childhood teaching practices highlight how Kenyan teachers use multiple musical and physical strategies to promote meaningful learning. These vignettes illustrate how teachers teach language development through music, use music to teach social skills and support emotional development, foster logico-mathematical skills through music, encourage physical development through music, and use music to teach personal safety, autonomy, and mastery.
