Book excerpt: "The story of an adventure in learning. The author describes ways in which children in a nursery school, and also a class of children in an infants' school, reached out towards an understanding of music through their dancing, singing, listening, experimenting with sound and rhythm, and through their writing of music and poetry. As we read of the discoveries made by these young children, and the ways in which the teacher responded to their needs and would stimulate growth and development, we watch the teacher herself learning and growing as she met and faced so many of the problems and difficulties inherent in the teaching situation. Dr Lawrence writes in the foreword to the book, 'All those who think that nowadays children go to school to be spoon-fed and 'just play' should read this book. They will be comforted by the evidence of sustained effort and varied achievement. Teachers who want to give their classes more freedom but are doubtful how to begin should get great help and encouragement from the detailed account of the musical material used, how it was presented, and what the children made of it.'" --Jacket.
