Children's music journey: the development of an interactive software solution for early childhood music education

Published: 01 October 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Music is recognized as a fundamental component in the education of the individual. Despite this fact, support and funding for music programs in public schools across North America continues to decline. This article discusses the benefits of music education on the development of the young mind and outlines the development of an interactive software program called "Children's Music Journey" to deliver affordable and pedagogically rigorous music education to children everywhere.
