About

Creating music is something that all children find stimulating and exciting. This new and updated edition of the well-established Making Music with the Young Child with Special Needs demonstrates how music can be used to encourage a child's development and provides practical help and guidance for parents and carers of all musical abilities, even beginners. The author also explains how musical activities can help to stimulate skills in other areas such as language and communication. The second part of the book details thirteen musical activities, with ideas for variations and further work.

In this new edition of her well-established book, Elaine Streeter helps parents and carers to learn not only how they can add to a child's fun, but also how they can engage a child in interactive communication at a level the child can make sense of - one of the most rewarding things anyone can do.
