Table of ContentsReviews'Johannella Tafuri's life work is to understand more deeply how infants benefit from formal and informal exposure to music. Her longitudinal studies, some of the most interesting and useful on the topic, provide a thoughtful, scholarly and practical account of early musical development with a special emphasis on infants' singing ability. Tafuri has produced an immensely important contribution to the literature. Each chapter encouraged me to think, reflect, and above all, celebrate this remarkable stage of infants' development.' Gary McPherson, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA 'This is a very important book I recommend to everybody - not only to music educators and parents - interested in and fascinated by the musical capacities inherent in every child. This impressive project clearly demonstrates the importance of music, in all its forms, in the homes and lives of very small, even still unborn, children and should encourage all parents, whether they regard themselves as musical or not, to sing to their children and interact with them in music.' GAran Folkestad, Lund University, Sweden '... this is no dry research report and it is the vitality of the participants, children, parents and the researchers, which makes this an enjoyable read. ... A strength of this book is the quality of the research and the ages of the children that have been observed from pre-natal days until they were six. ... Such an in-depth, longitudinal study is extremely valuable. To present the research in such a palatable form adds to its value and significance. A good read for music specialists, early childhood practitioners, researchers and parents. Highly recommended.' Australian Journal of Music Education 'The powerful attraction music has is explicated in this work and the case for the benefits of involving families in musical activities is strongly presented.

Australian Journal of Music Education 'The powerful attraction music has is explicated in this work and the case for the benefits of involving families in musical activities is strongly presented. Discussion of skills and how to assist in the development of skills is one that all in early childhood education should think about. This is not an ordinary research project and the vitality of the participants, children, families and the researchers make it an enjoyable read. Highly recommended.' The First Years. New Zealand Journal of Infant and Toddler Education '...worthwhile reading for all those concerned not just with early years music, but with music education across its breadth.' British Journal of Music Education 'This book is essentially the result of collaboration and companionship. It is written with great passion and enthusiasm and reflects Johanella Tafuri's courageous commitment to tracking, over six years, the development of musical skills, particularly singing, in young children from before birth to around six years old.' Music Education Research 'A strength of this book is the quality of the research and the ages of the children that have been observed from pre-natal days until they were six. The findings indicated the first three years were the most important in the children's development in this study and this connects the music research to other research in the early years. Such an indepth, longitudinal study is extremely valuable. To present the research in such a palatable form adds to its value and significance. A good read for music specialists, early childhood practitioners, researchers and parents. Highly recommended.'
