Folkdoctor Preschool Music Programs (9) RE: Preschool Music Programs 18 Jul 01


Hi KT

I have done music with preschoolers for over twenty years and my feeling is that they really are not equiped to take lessons on an instrument yet. Everybody talks about 'Susuki' and I do not doubt that it works somehow, but if I were a parent I would be more interested in doing something where my child would learn to move and sing which is truly important in making them (we hope) a happier more fullfilled person. Too often now I find children in grade school who never sang with a group and can not even carry a tune. I ask myself what they missed out on? In this age of 'kindergarten as a first step to college', I remember sitting under a tree and singing. Just my opinion nothing more, as long as they are having fun!
