The musical development of a childduring their first year of life should therefore be taken seriously. Great demands are placed on the need to teach music in the preschool not only for the music skills gained but because music can also play a vital role in children’s linguistic motor and social development.The importance of musical education is discussed in the first chapter of this book which provides a theoretical introduction. In the later chapters suggestions for music lessons are given. Rygsækken can be seen as a backpack filled with advice ideas and inspiration for organising musical training for younger children and their parents.
