This conference will help anyone intending and already working in music with Early Years and families.
It explores the way music runs through young children’s lives; their relationships, their communication, their
physical and emotional development and their thinking. It brings together current topical issues facing
practitioners and carers through presentations and workshops with National and International experts.
It raises questions of relevance to national policy frameworks and to research and reflective practice.
