Elemental Music and Movement
in the Montessori Classroom
Course Overview
Designed for Montessori Guides and Assistants, this interactive training introduces rhythm, movement, and singing while supporting the child’s independent musical exploration.
Rooted in Montessori human development, the elemental approach views music as a natural human capacity, not a specialty.
Daily classroom music and movement activities nurture coordination and social-emotional growth in younger children and spark imagination and reasoning in older children. The goal is a seamless integration of elemental music and Montessori.
Details for the next online training workshop will be posted soon.
