This research project aims to investigate the offering of live music in the form of family concerts with music educational aspects to children aged 0 to 4. By using specially written and arranged songs that are developmentally appropriate next to instrumental pieces as well as the use of objects, a process of musical meaning making is created through which the children can understand and enjoy the music. In this process, the presence of (grand)parents and/or carers is vital to create a familiar and informal environment to stimulate musical learning.
