Abstract
The research discussed below expanded on the inclusion of music education in early childhood education settings focusing on children from birth to age five. Benefits of the inclusion of music on development are discussed with emphasis on the areas of cognitive, language, motor, and social emotional development. Implementation strategies are expanded on including instructional methods including the Montessori method, the Orff method, the Kodály method, and Eine Kleine Yoga Musik and ways in which they can be used in an early childhood setting. There are issues in terms of teacher confidence and budget restrictions that further hinder the already lacking environment of musical experiences in early childhood setting. These topics are further discussed, and solutions are provided to strengthen the importance of music in early childhood education settings.
