Abstract
Movement and music are inseparably linked, and young children benefit from interactive, engaging experiences that promote responsive embodied musicality. Developing practical strategies for facilitating embodied musicality through responsive pedagogies of awareness potentially expands upon young children’s innate capabilities as musickers. The natural integration of music and movement offers rich opportunities for adults to engage as co-musickers alongside young children. Mindfully and intentionally facilitating music and movement interactions that prioritize awareness and responsiveness may effectively support young children’s creative musical and movement expression.
