Students of the arts are empowered to explore new concepts, communicate confidently and grow into creative, critical thinkers. Teaching the Arts: Early Childhood and Primary Education emphasises the fundamental nature of the arts in learning and development. Arranged in three parts and focusing on the key areas of dance, drama, media arts, music and visual arts, this book encourages educators to connect to the 'why', 'what' and 'how' of arts education. This fourth edition continues to provide up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of arts education in Australia, with links to the updated Australian Curriculum and Early Years Learning Framework. The text supports further learning in each area of the Arts through teacher tips, spotlights on Arts education and teaching in the remote classroom. Teaching the Arts is an essential resource for all pre-service early childhood and primary teachers aiming to diversify and enhance their engagement with the Arts in early education environments.
