The participants, centre staff and a composer, Stephen Leek, contributed a number of music sessions for the children, including five original songs. The book showcases young children's communicative ability and sensitivity to wider issues. The staff in the centre have a strongly voiced philosophy that is enacted through arts-based pedagogy and incorporates significant themes including a respect for Aboriginal culture and custodial responsibility towards a sustainable future for the earth. Examples of adult and children's ideas are illustrated through music making, singing, dancing, words, drawings and paintings, which provide insights into a world where children are viewed as active citizens and the arts have rights. The book describes the context of the centre, the history of projects and details one project as an example of \"lifeworthy learning\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAleksandra Acker\u003c\/b\u003e is a practicing musician, lecturer and researcher at RMIT University, Australia.\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eBerenice Nyland\u003c\/b\u003e is an Adjunct Professor at RMIT University, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJan Deans\u003c\/b\u003e was the Director of Early Learning Centre at The University of Melbourne, Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKylie Payman\u003c\/b\u003e is the specialist music teacher at The University of Melbourne's Early Learning Centre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSuzana Klarin\u003c\/b\u003e is an educational leader at The University of Melbourne's Early Learning Centre.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45278773182615,"sku":"9783030916916","price":4774.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783030916916.webp?v=1769291835","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/music-composition-in-contexts-of-early-childhood-creation-communication-and-multi-modal-experiences-through-music-9783030916916","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
