Özet:

This study has been prepared with the aim of providing essential information to enhance the understanding of Dalcroze's approach and enrich early childhood music education based on his recommendations. The study begins by discussing the life of Emile Jaques-Dalcroze and his approach to music education. Subsequently, the contributions of music education in early childhood to various developmental domains of the child are elucidated, supported by both domestic and international studies. Finally, the recommendations for music education for children presented by Emile Jaques-Dalcroze in the "Music and The Child" section of his book "Rhythm, Music and Education," which was published in its third edition in 1931, are explained with the support of scientific publications in the field. Beyond providing theoretical information solely related to Dalcroze's method, the focus of this study is to make the approach more understandable for parents and teachers by offering practical educational suggestions. Building upon Dalcroze's recommendations, the study aims to provide important insights to enrich early childhood music education and offer practical guidance to educators, teachers, and parents. Therefore, it is considered that Emile Jaques-Dalcroze's recommendations on early childhood music education could serve as a significant source of guidance.
