Listening to the music of early childhood

Abstract

An interest in listening to nursery age children spontaneously making music on percussion instruments led to re-thinking the role of adult as listener to children's music making. It is suggested that this role is not a passive one but active. The adult playfully participates with the child and takes responsibility for ‘scaffolding’ the child's emerging music making. Participant listening challenges conceptions of the listening act itself.
