Abstract

The incorporation of the pedagogical principles and psychological theories of Ovide Decroly, along with the principles of World Music Pedagogy, forms the foundation for the development of musical vocabulary in early childhood. Research has shown that music education should commence as early as possible in a person's life. This work seeks to align Decroly's pedagogical principles with those of World Music Pedagogy, offering pedagogical suggestions for early childhood that relate to Edwin Gordon's concept of audiation. It is noted that community music can influence music teaching.
