EFFECTS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD MOTIVATION AND MUSICAL ART EDUCATION ON THE CHILD

Abstract

The greatest desire of any teacher is to arouse and motivate a child in class and that is the utmost desire of a music teacher in classroom situation. It is of interest to have a musically motivated child/leaner in a class of music. Leaning is very effective and interesting when the duo (teacher and leaner) are having an effective participatory action in a class environment. It is also the pride of any nation to produce people of high intelligence and people who can contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation, for “education is an instrument for national development†(National Policy on Education by Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2014:4). The education must be an all-round one that brings about meaningful development in an individual. This education promotes “physical, emotional and psychological development of all children†(FRN, 2014:5).
