Readiness: Knowledge and Practices of an Experience in Musical Education for Early Childhood

Abstract

This article presents the results of the systematization of an experience in music education for toddlers and little children, herein named "Readiness", which was carried on in the Taller de Música. Is consists of a proposal emerged from the musical pedagogy, where the contents are organized and configured in six components so structured as to stimulate developmental aspects of children aged 2 to 5. The experience held by María Teresa Martínez, teacher in music education and better known in the pedagogical environment as “Pitti Martinez”, resumes the comprehension acquired during all these years regarding the importance of music in the processes of physical, emotional, cognitive and social development of children, and aims at providing for their present and future, thus helping to some extent to build a gentler society.
