MUSIC: AN INCENTIVE IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Abstract

Very few things in life inspire much joy and excitement than the miracle of a newborn baby. Whether that child fulfils his or her potentials in life, is largely dependent on the family, community and the society into which that child is born, hence the early years of life is very crucial. When children are given the right attention from the start of their lives, from their family and the society, and especially with music, their general development in all areas: especially intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual are obviously enhanced. This study examines the motivation that the use of music in raising children gives in their intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual development.
