A valuable resource for educators, carers and parents to provide fun and enriching musical experiences for young children. Practical support and detailed instructions are given for sharing music confidently and effectively, especially for those with very little musical experience.

The educator and children can explore musical concepts together through musical play involving games, singing, movement, playing and improvising on instruments, and conducting. Music magic helps educators and carers who would like to develop their own musical expertise and involve children in educational play that is also fun.

This book includes:

• eight chapters covering all the fundamental musical concepts
• over 30 songs and games
• CD with all the songs for each chapter and educator tutorials
• detailed explanation of ways to share songs and games with children
• Playcards with song lyrics and summaries of songs and games for each session, plus lanyard with cardholder so the educator can work hands-free
• Take-home notes for parents on ways to continue Music magic at home.
