Phonemic awareness is the key indicator of a child’s success in learning to read and central to later spelling achievement (Stanovich, 1993-1994). Because of this, a preschool song about instruments is a valuable tool to use in your classroom. Children must be able to hear the sounds of language (phonological awareness), separate from its meaning (Machado, 2003, p. 237). One way to strengthen this skill is through listening activities where the child must focus on one sound in their environment also known as auditory discrimination. “Musicians, Musicians” does just that while also teaching children to identify the sounds of musical instruments. While using this preschool song about instruments, ask your students to try mimicking the sounds as well to incorporate vocal exploration into the activity. They will have a blast pretending to be different instruments while practicing auditory discrimination!
