ABSTRACT
The purpose of this final chapter is to focus on the role of the early years practitioner in music and in particular to focus on the idea of reflective practice. This incorporates the processes of collecting information about musical activity in all its forms, analysing the information to deepen understanding and, on the basis of that understanding, reviewing and planning for change and improvement. All this in the belief that the quality of music with under-fours will be best served by a creative blend of deepthinking, honest evaluation and openness to fresh ideas.
