Exposure to music is important in a child’s life, not because we hope to produce great musicians (though that does happen spontaneously!), but because it is a means of expressing emotions. Being musical is not for special people only. Just as we learn to walk, any individual can learn to be musical. One does not have to be musically gifted or have a great voice to sing with children. For the purposes of musical appreciation in children we have the following lines:
Singing
Music appreciation or history (A reflection of man’s culture)
Lessons to discriminate different pitches
Introduction to different musical instruments
Study of great composers
Rhythm
Participation and presentation on stage
