The goal of the IAA music curriculum is to teach children the skills they need
to be active music participants as older children and as adults.
The IAA music literacy curriculum uses First Steps in Music, followed by
Conversational Solfege, developed by John Feierabend at the Hartt School of Music.
This curriculum teaches children to be tuneful, beatful, and artful with music.
Conversational Solfege is a way to learn how to read and write music in a similar
way to learning a spoken language.
John Feierabend is one of the leading authorities on
music and movement development in early childhood.
Here are 2 of Dr. Feierabend's many fine papers on music education for children:
