About the Book
Children are inherently musical. They respond to music and learn through music. Music
expresses children’s identity and heritage, teaches them to belong to a culture, and develops
their cognitive well-being and inner self worth. As professional instructors, childcare
workers, or students looking forward to a career working with children, we should con-
tinuously search for ways to tap into children’s natural reservoir of enthusiasm for singing,
moving and experimenting with instruments. But how, you might ask? What music is
appropriate for the children I’m working with? How can music help inspire a well-rounded
child? How do I reach and teach children musically? Most importantly perhaps, how can I
incorporate music into a curriculum that marginalizes the arts?
This book explores a holistic, artistic, and integrated approach to understanding the
developmental connections between music and children. This book guides professionals to
work through music, harnessing the processes that underlie music learning, and outlining
developmentally appropriate methods to understand the role of music in children’s lives
through play, games, creativity, and movement. Additionally, the book explores ways of
applying music-making to benefit the whole child, i.e., socially, emotionally, physically,
cognitively, and linguistically.

Reviewer’s Notes
Natalie Sarrazin’s Music and the Child is a well-written, thoughtful, comprehensive,
up-to-date textbook. The author’s audience is primarily general classroom teachers,
who will want to include music into their general curriculum. Assuming that the reader
has had a life-long interaction with music in the world, Sarrazin does not take for granted
that the reader is well-versed in musical concept, symbolic notation, song literature, and
elementary instrumental and vocal pedagogy. Her early chapters are an examination of
all of these areas, and while all the information is very valuable, may choose to spend less
time focusing on one or more areas in which s/he might have some knowledge of. It is
important to note that although the readers may not be music educators, Sarrazin does
not dumb down any of her material. Throughout the entire text, consciously or not, the
author conveys a respect for the reader’s intelligence, as well as for the subject matter. The
activities are excellent. The reviewer enjoyed doing many of the activities himself,
watching the videos, and singing the songs. The links are easy to access, and highly
suited for the text. The bibliographies are current and include some of the seminal
research in the field of music education, learning theories, assessment, ethnomusicology,
and inclusion. I strongly recommend this textbook.
