Classroom Music for Little Mozarts: Curriculum Book 1 & CD: Comb Bound Book & CD

This curriculum removes the guesswork from early childhood music instruction by offering ten fully realized lesson plans written by someone who understands how 4- to 6-year-olds actually learn. The inclusion of reproducible activity pages and the lay-flat comb binding makes this genuinely practical to use week after week, while the CD ensures consistency in recordings and frees you from performing every song and story yourself.

Playful and intentional. Every lesson balances joy and structure, inviting children to sing, move, and listen within a framework that quietly builds musical understanding. The activities feel like joyful play while deliberately developing ear training, rhythmic awareness, and comfort with musical concepts.

Preschool and kindergarten classroom teachers, music specialists working in early childhood settings, and elementary general music teachers seeking structured curriculum for the youngest learners. This is especially valuable for teachers new to music instruction or those without extensive musical background.

• Use the CD recordings to establish steady rhythmic patterns and melodic references during singing activities; children this age learn through repeated exposure to consistent sound models.
• Incorporate movement suggestions from the lesson plans during every listening activity; anchoring music to physical experience deepens retention and engagement for preschool and kindergarten students.
• Prepare the reproducible activity pages in advance so you can focus fully on observing and responding to the children's engagement rather than managing materials during class.

Use this as your core curriculum for early childhood general music classes, or offer it as an exploratory class that introduces young students to music fundamentals before they enter piano lessons or other instrument instruction. The ten-lesson format works well for fall through winter semesters or as a focused unit within a larger early childhood program.
