This is an interesting and useful book. I found it quite a challenge to read, however, and feel an accompanying video would have been helpful. This would have enabled me to put the theory into practice. Also as a non-music specialist, a tape or CD of the activities would be invaluable.
The book has three sections. Chapter one covers the theoretical framework that underpins the delivery of interactive music. This has a solid early years approach that includes starting with the person, their interests, skills and strengths, and supporting the development of social behaviour. The adult's role is to encourage, actively listen, support independence and praise.
