When I tell education professionals that I run #playbased learning sessions and do Parent & Teacher workshops, some are quick to dismiss what we do— because it is “just music” or “Oh, just a playgroup!”
But it’s more than that.
As teachers and researchers, the work we do through music involves both theoretical and practical components.
Take this video, for example.
On the one side, we can discuss language acquisition through describing the elements of speech— from phonetics to morphology, to syntax and semantics, and so on.
However, from a practical component, we show how it is possible to support and scaffold the growing mechanisms of language in children— in ways that align with their developmental capacities.
In this throwback video, @asa_saoirse is excited to realise that she is being directly communicated with. Whether in speech or song, children are attuned to the elements of sound. This provides the foundation— not just for language acquisition, but also for the process of respectful and meaningful communication.
Enjoy this video of Asa’s foray into language. If you’re interested in the theory, send me a message. It is my goal to spread an understanding of age-appropriate instruction in the field among parents, caregivers and educational practitioners alike.

PS. I’ll be rolling out the Educator training and recruitment for @kindermusikhk through @baumhaushk in 2021. Also, if you are interested to have the official licensed Kindermusik program in your school, do let me know!
Stay connected, and together we can make an impact in #musicbased #creative learning in Hong Kong.
