Many parents wonder how to include music in their day, especially when children are very young – too young to get much out of playing an instrument or group music-making such as singing in a choir. With young families in mind (though teachers could also easily use these resources in a classroom or daycare setting!), we have put together a collection of short music compilations, found for free on Youtube (link included in file). Each one is themed according to style, country, genre, and/or mood, with a simple title such as ‘Moon’. Just pick a title that strikes your imagination (such as ‘Cake’ or ‘Together’) and listen! Each file is no more than 12 minutes long. The selections include a wide variety of performances. You may listen to them in any order, and at any time during the day. Just take a moment to ‘pause and play!’ Please see the file for further suggestions for how to make the most of this ‘music appreciation’ resource. NOTE: New selections will be added regularly!
