Primary Music Description: As Montessori teachers we believe that the musical experience for the young
child should be organic and continual throughout their school day to enhance tactile and aural
exploration. We approach music as a way to increase social interaction and student engagement. It is
intended to further involve the learner as an active participant, integrating music into all aspects of the
curriculum. Group musical participation should also be viewed as a way of cultivating a community of
learners, reinforcing messages of peace and unity.The musical selections and instruments are selected to
entice students into participation and spontaneous movement (Montessori, 1970).
The central purpose for music in the Montessori school setting is to awaken the senses of the students
through discrimination among complex sounds, in order to lay the foundation for future musical training
(Standing, 1998). Exploration of sound is also integral to the Orff-Schulwerk process of music education.
Students experience the elements of music through voice and instruments as they learn through
exploration, imitation and creation (Choksy, Abramson, Gillespie, Woods & York, 2001; Hackett &
Lindemann, 2007).
