Postgraduate Diploma in Music Education in Pre-School Education

Principles of music education in pre-school education

Music education in pre-school education refers to the teaching and learning of music in the first cycle of pre-school education, that is, in children between the ages of 0 and 6 years old. Music education in pre-school education is an essential part of early childhood education, which focuses on developing cognitive, social and emotional skills in children through the learning and practice of music.

Music education in pre-school education is considered fundamental to children's cognitive, emotional and social development, as music has a great impact on the development of skills such as memory, attention, creativity and communication.

Music education in pre-school education can be approached through a variety of activities, such as singing, percussion and exploration of different sounds and rhythms. In addition, musical toys and teaching materials can also be used to facilitate the learning and practice of music.

Music education in pre-school education focuses not only on the practice of music, but also on the learning of basic musical concepts such as rhythm, melody and harmony. In this way, it seeks to foster in children a deeper understanding and appreciation of music.

This online educational program seeks to provide students with comprehensive instruction in music education in pre-school education. Students will learn about the importance of music in child development and the different pedagogical models and approaches in early childhood music education. In addition, they will be taught about the planning and design of music curriculum and activities in early childhood education, including the implementation of digital technologies. The program will also focus on assessment and monitoring in pre-school music education, and the development of leadership and management skills in this field. Finally, opportunities for continuing education and participation in networks and communities of practice in pre-school music education will be addressed.
