Sounds of Intent in the Early Years
‘Sounds of Intent in the Early Years’ is a new framework for gauging the musical development of children from 0 to 7 years.
Based on a recent research project undertaken by Professor Adam Ockelford and Angela Voyajolu at the University of Roehampton and Eastwood Children’s Centre, SoI-EY gives parents and practitioners ideas for activities and an assessment framework, enabling them to find out and record where their children are at musically, and engage them in music-making activities at levels that are appropriate for their evolving musical interests and abilities. The system is designed for ALL children, including those with special needs. It is easy to use and, above all, fun! It is based on the philosophy that all of us – children and adults – are innately musical, and that engaging in music-making with others is an essential element in early development.
