Abstract Music is a part of the development of every child from the strains of the first lullaby. Millions of children take music lessons and are involved in formal music training, yet little attention has been paid by child development professionals to the role of music in children's lives. This book is a fresh collection of research by recognized scholars dealing with different aspects of music in early childhood development. The volume introduces a wide variety of contexts in which music and children interact: educational, familial, social, and cultural. It also reviews research, presents new findings, and articulates frameworks for understanding the role of music. This book provides a catalyst for future thinking and research on the ways music affects and enriches the lives of children.
