Puppets and props are excellent tools for the music room. They can be used to introduce many aspects of music making to young children, such as:
- exploring imitation and improvisation in movement
- exploring pitch, timbre and improvisation with the voice
- Puppets and props also offer instant opportunities for inclusion
Most of all, they are fun and engaging to work with and will excite all children in your class.
