Very interesting insights into how children learn music theory. I appreciate the work that Gordon has contributed to this field, but he says everything in such an extreme manner that it threw me off slightly.

Great book on how children under 5 years process and understand music. Thoroughly researched. easy to read, organized well. If you are interested in working with children 5 and under in music education, this book really is a must. This is an invaluable resource to have. And...Basically, this is the EXACT education you receive if you go to a Music Together training.
