Nursery World - Nursery children hit a high note

Nurseries and pre-schools in Lincolnshire are alive with the sound of music this summer thanks to a free project taking place throughout the county. Stuart Burr (pictured) is the music facilitator working with Cinder Ash Pre-School in Long Sutton. He said, 'This is not about being a musician.

It's about giving it a go, and everyone can join in regardless of their ability. The children learn to listen and gain social skills such as sharing and taking turns.'

The First Notes project is part of the Sound52 initiative, Lincolnshire's Youth Music Action Zone. First Notes is partly funded by Lincolnshire's Early Years Development and Childcare Partnership and Sound52 works in partnership with the Lincolnshire Pre-School Learning Alliance.

So far the project is already up and running in 38 early years settings in the county.
