Experience plan
[Sounds of music] Babies- (0- 1 years)
Date of implementation:
Title of experience – with some detail that explains what the activity
is about and how it will be introduced and implemented:
Four babies in a group will be managed by an educator and they will be placed
on the quilt along with a basket filled with toy musical instruments. Cushions
and pillows were provide all around the area to mitigate the risk of fall or an
injury. Babies would play all the musical instruments as shown by the educator
and under the surveillance of the educator.
Materials required and a diagram or photo of set up:
Material: Toy Drum pads , shakers, clappers and wooden castanets ,
toy trumpets
Children will find it more convenient to do this activity on the floor as that will
reduce the chance of slips and falls.
A rationale linking the justification of the learning experience to the
skills identified in the observation and ensuring the plan meets
both the capabilities, interests and cultural contexts of the child:
For babies, music and musical experiences supports the development of
important brain connections in the child. Music promote development in

multiple facets. Like singing a lullaby enhances early learning development,
increases the attachments and the supports the infant developing spatial
awareness (Ilari, 2015). Again quiet background music can be can be soothing
to the infants. Music can ignite all the areas of the child and increase the skill
for the school readiness and the overall literacy.
Baby directed music has been found to be targeting several aspects of the
development of a child such as the communication, sensory motor, language,
emotions and the cognitive modalities (Sulkin & Brodsky, 2015).
A link to an EYLF principle which relates to the underpinning
philosophy of the experience plan:
“ high expectations and equity”
According to this EYLF principle , each and every children have the right to get
equal learning opportunities regardless of the background.
A list of developmental learning outcomes that are specific and can be
evaluated and demonstrate developmental progression from the skills
identified in the original documentation:
 Develops sensory motor skills in the children (Hong & Gabriel, 2018)
 Improves the cognitive modalities in the child
 Enhances attachment between the baby and the caregiver
 Improves communication between the baby and the caregivers
 Children can interact with each other via music (Hong & Gabriel, 2018)
 Improves the social and the emotional skills
A link to an EYLF outcome:
“Children are confident and involved learners”
 “ express wonder and interest in their environments are curious and
enthusiastic participants in their learning use play to investigate, imagine
and explore ideas”
 “ plan learning environments with appropriate levels of challenge where
children are encouraged to explore, experiment”
 “ Engage with and co-construct learning develop an ability to mirror,
repeat and practice the actions of others”

 “ provide opportunities and support for children to engage in meaningful
learning relationships provide sensory and exploratory experiences”
 “engage in learning relationships”
A list of the teaching strategies (pedagogical practices) identifying
how you will help the child meet each of the learning outcomes you
have planned
 Playing with the sound
 Playing with the rhythm and then rhyming
 Starting with the whole song
 Using fingers and hand motions
 Singing throughout the day
 Inspiring the babies to try out different instruments
 Showing pictures of different kinds of instruments
 Using familiar tunes to make the babies used to the songs taught
 Being light and playful with the rhythm of the song.
