This session invites you to step into the child’s world, where make-believe, exploratory play, and creative possibilities form the foundation of spontaneous musical play across the nursery floor.

We’ll delve into how music can be a powerful starting point for navigating the intricate world of interaction, connection, and self-expression by integrating various materials and art forms. You’ll gain tools to help extend children’s musical experiences at a crucial stage in their lives, as they develop awareness of themselves as musical.

A key aspect of our work is recognizing the multi-faceted role of practitioners. This session emphasizes the importance of building relationships with nursery staff through meaningful conversations and shared understanding, so that we might better appreciate the inner world of children’s music-making.

Led by Kate Comberti, the session will explore a range of provocations and starting points for musical play, illustrated with real-life stories from the nursery floor. There will also be time for reflection and discussion.
