About the Composer: Donna Brink Fox

Donna Brink Fox

Donna Brink Fox directs the Early Childhood Music Program at Eastman School of Music, where she holds the Eisenhart Professorship in Music Education. Her work in early childhood pedagogy has shaped how music teachers approach young learners across the United States and internationally; she has conducted workshops in Australia and across the country, and her research and writing on music for young children appear regularly in journals including Music Educators Journal, American Music Teacher, and International Journal of Music Education.

Brink Fox's scholarly contributions extend beyond the classroom. She has presented at major conferences including MENC, ISME, and the Chamber Music America symposium, and she serves on the editorial board of Psychomusicology. Her co-authorship of Classroom Music for Little Mozarts reflects her philosophy that early childhood music instruction thrives when rooted in sequential, developmentally appropriate curriculum. She holds degrees from Calvin College, Ohio University, and Ohio State University.

Why we love this

This audio download gives your early childhood classroom exactly what the curriculum calls for—recorded models that students can hear, learn from, and sing along with at their own pace. The music is carefully sequenced to match cognitive and vocal development, so students experience success from day one rather than feeling rushed through unfamiliar territory.

What to expect

Warm, inviting, and playful. The recorded models capture the spirit of exploration and discovery that defines early childhood music, with clear, age-appropriate vocal phrasing that young singers can imitate and absorb.

Who it's for

General music teachers working with young students in Grades K-1 or early childhood settings who are using the Classroom Music for Little Mozarts curriculum. This audio download supports students who benefit from hearing the songs and activities modeled before attempting them independently.

How to get the most out of it

  • Sing along with the recordings during circle time to establish tonal memory before asking students to perform independently
  • Play the audio in small group sessions so children can echo phrases and internalize melodic contours at their own pace
  • Use the recordings as a reference when you're introducing new songs, letting the audio set the tone and tempo while you manage the room
  • Layer the accompaniment underneath student singing to build ensemble awareness and help shy singers find their voices within the group

How to use it

Play the audio tracks during circle time or group lessons to introduce new songs and activities from the curriculum. Students can also listen independently during learning stations or take the download home so families can reinforce classroom activities together.

Skills your students will build

  • Pitch discrimination and tonal memory
  • Echo singing and call-and-response patterns
  • Listening to musical phrasing and expression
  • Developing comfort with singing in front of others
