Stories and Music

Outside of play, stories are the modality for teaching, instruction and explaining things to young children. Let's read more stories aloud for the children!"But one thing children at this age cannot do is follow explanations; they have no understanding for this at all. If a teacher tries to explain the subjects during the first school years, the children will react by becoming blunted and dull. This approach simply does not work. On the other hand, everything will go smoothly if, rather than explaining the subject matter, one forms the content into a story, if words are painted with mental images, and if rhythm is brought into one’s whole way of teaching." - Excerpt from Rudolf Steiner's Lecture Five of The Child's Changing Consciousness, Donarch, April 19, 1923.MusicNancy Stewart of https://nancymusic.com/Bed Tracks and Other Audio“Children Theme” by Denys KyshchukFrom freemusicarchive.orgAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 4.0 International(CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)Music by Denys Kyshchuk: https://www.audiocoffee.net/https://soundcloud.com/deniskino“Cheer Up” by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonAttribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/The Secret Kindergarten is live every Saturday 2.00pm-3.00pm Eastern Time on Revolution Radio (Studio A): https://www.revolution.radio/.https://thesecretkindergarten.com/For any questions or comments: [email protected] my work: https://thesecretkindergarten.com/about-and-contact/#donations-link.
