| Finally, in the assimilation
stages, children begin to coordinate their breathing, moving, and chanting
and/or their breathing, moving and singing with themselves and then with
others. It is important that children not be rushed through any of
the types and stages of preparatory audiation, but it is especially important
that children not be rushed through the stages of the assimilation type
of preparatory audiation.
In those stages each child puts the finishing touches on the singing and chanting of tonal patterns and rhythm patterns and develops the muscle and breathing control that will allow him or her to enjoy more formal music instruction if he or she desires such training. |
| Type | Stage | |
| ASSIMILATION
From ages 3-5 to ages 4-6, each child engages with conscious thought focused primarily on himself or herself. |
6. INTROSPECTION
Each child recognizes his/her lack of coordination between singing and breathing and between chanting and muscular movement, including breathing. Each child coordinates his/her singing and chanting with breathing and movement. |
