Incorporating Music into the Early Years Foundation Stage

Music in the Round hosted the Listen Up! conference on 30th June 2014 which explored how music fits into the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and the Key Stage 1 National Curriculum.

Nursery staff, KS1 teachers and music practitioners shared these brilliant ideas on how to use music in all areas of young children’s education.

Have a look at their document which discusses how music can be used in: Mathematics Literacy Expressive art and design Understanding the world Personal, social and emotional development Physical development Communication and language development

There are some hugely inspiring ideas so feel free to use them in your setting and spread the word about them to colleagues too!
