Music ignites all areas of child development and skills for school readiness,
including intellectual, social-emotional, motor, language, and overall literacy. It
helps the body and the mind work together. Exposing children to music during
early development helps them learn the sounds and meanings of words.

The stave (or staff) is the foundation upon which notes are drawn. The modern staff comprises
five lines and four spaces. The modern stave comprises five lines and four spaces. Every line or
space on the staff represents a white key on the keyboard.

TIME SIGNATURE

music, as well as which note value is counted as a beat. Time signatures are located at the
beginning of the staff (a set of five lines used to dictate each note's pitch), after the clef and key

 KEY SIGNATURE
A key signature is a visual symbol, printed on a musical staff, that indicates what key a section of

the music is in.

 DRAMA
a written work that tells a story through action and speech and is meant to be acted on a stage.

TYPES OF DRAMA DEFINITIONS

1. Improvisation A scene is set, either by the teacher or children; with little or no
time to prepare a script, the students perform before the group.

2. Mime (Pantomime) Children use only facial expressions and body language to pass
on a message script to the rest of the class.
3. Drama Games In a drama game, you inhabit a world different from the one in
which you live. You use your imagination to portray or
dramatize something. By your actions, you show others what
you want to depict. Acting out what you have prepared is an
important part of “Drama Games”. Besides drama, you can
build games by using dance, art, music, sports or any other type
of activity. Improvising is a form of drama play.
4. Role Plays Students are given a particular role in a scripted play. After
rehearsal, the play is performed for the class, school or parents.
Check out our line memorization tips.
5. Masked Drama The main props are masks. With masks, children feel less
inhibited to perform and overact while participating in this form
of drama. They are given specific parts to play with a formal
script. The actors create the full picture for the rest of the
group–Interpreting content and expressing it using only the
voice and body.
6. Puppet Plays Children use puppets to say and do things that they may feel
too inhibited to say or do themselves.
7. Reader’s Theater Reader’s theater was developed as an efficient and effective way
to present literature in dramatic form; it is an interpretive oral
reading activity.

Students use their voices, facial expressions, and hand gestures

to interpret characters in scripts or stories.
Teachers and students may adapt favorite stories for Readers’
Theater through scriptwriting activities. This is a wonderful
activity for teachers and caregivers that are looking for ways to
add fun, excitement, and meaning to oral reading activities.
The very fact that the name contains the word “Readers”-
indicates that it has a strong focus on the text. Text is the most
important concept in Readers Theater.
8. Radio Drama Similar to script reading with the addition of other sound effects;
the painting of the mental picture is important.

9. Performance Poetry While reading/reciting a poem, the children are encouraged to

act out the story from a poem.
GENRES/TYPES OF DRAMA DEFINITION
1. Comedies Comedies are narratives with the intent of
making the audience laugh. A Midsummer
Night’s Dream is a comedic drama about a
turbulent marriage of Theseus and Hippolyta
and the hi-jinx that ensues with them and 4
young actors
2. Tragedies Just like the name suggests, tragedies were
indeed tragic. The subjects they dealt with were
dark, like war and death, and protagonists were
always burdened with a tragic flaw that kept
them from their happy ending.
3. Farce This type of drama is similar to a comedy but
aims at entertaining through highly
exaggerated and improbable situations. The
Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is made
up of dozens of characters with their own
unique and sometimes extravagant stories,
leaving the “plot” to be lost to some readers and
audiences.
4. Melodrama This type of drama is meant to appeal to the
audience’s emotions. The story is meant to be
passionate and sensational, with characters
portrayed using stereotypes and one-
dimensional personalities.
5. Musical Drama This is a form of drama where music, especially
singing or dancing, is used along with dialogue
and acting to tell the story.

RELEVANCE OF DRAMA TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

Drama enables the development of imitation and imagination skills of the child; it
provides an understanding of the instructions given during activities and
remembering them later, thus developing perception and memory, attention and
concentration.
