New Early Learning Music Program

Early Advantage, the distributors of the popular BBC’s Muzzy Language series, recently released Ruth Spencer’s Early Learning Music Program. This program is designed for children ages 2 to 9 years and provides them with experience in listening, learning and creating music. According to Early Advantage, this music program will teach children to communicate nonverbally, improve their mental concentration, and help them build self-confidence.

The program teaches rhythm, pitch, phrasing, dynamics, articulation and timbre. The entire program can be completed in eight weeks.

The program sells for $119 and contains 84 music lessons, 200 activities, 24 flash cards, and a parent guide. The program also includes compact discs or audiocassettes containing music, songs, and sing-along songs.

The Early Learning Music Program was developed by Ruth Spencer, a music professor at City University of New York. Ms. Spencer has served as a music consultant to the New York City Board of Education.
