Instructions

1. Set up a music center with the materials listed above. Balance the center
with materials for both active and quiet activities, but not at the same time.
2. Color code the keys on the keyboard to match word cards with favorite
songs or nursery rhymes.
3. Provide opportunities for children to make choices. Change materials when
interest wanes and according to your objectives.
4. Remove some of the noisier materials on days when quiet activities are more
appropriate.
