Listening skills are fundamental in the author's approach to teaching music to children. As a Suzuki instructor, the author is always looking for ways to help students listen more effectively. This article sets forth ways listening can be fostered, both in private instrumental study and in general music preschool and elementary classrooms. The material here is drawn from two principle sources: the writings of learning theorist Edwin Gordon and those of psychologist Howard Gardner. Activities grounded in these theorists' philosophies use movement and the voice to nurture a child's ability to listen with discernment both from within and outside of himself or herself. The author offers music teachers new ways to engage bodily movement and vocal response to the approach they are experts in, integrating current learning theory, brain research, and education to serve a primary goal: teaching children how to listen.
