“…Performing the concert in the preschool building and not in a facility that is unfamiliar to the children, was found to be effective. This result likewise supports the findings of previous studies (Hefer & Cohen, 2015; Smith, 2011).…”

“…The considerations in choosing the repertoire—the duration of the concert (about 35 minutes), the length, complexity, and content of each piece—were found to be appropriate, and therefore support the findings of other studies of concerts for preschoolers (Dionyssiou & Fytika, 2017; Hefer & Cohen, 2015; Suthers, 2008).…”

“…For the most part, these are didactic concerts that are presented by students and colleges rather than by professional musicians (e.g. Dionyssiou & Fytika, 2017; Hefer & Cohen, 2015; Reese & Derrick, 2019). These concerts have attempted to make live music accessible to young children, and have suggested didactic concepts and guidelines that can be utilized in designing concerts for children.…”

Orchestras all over the world have concert programs in various formats for children, including some designed for preschoolers. Presenting concerts to children in kindergartens and schools is a long-standing tradition in Israel. The uniqueness of these programs and their main innovation is the preparatory work and process through which the children are prepared for the concert—which is the culmination of the whole process. This case study focuses on the first 10 years (2005–15) of one of these programs—“Beat”—implemented in Israeli kindergartens. We aim to characterize the development of the various stages of this program, and to describe its integration into kindergarten life. The data were collected from semi-structured interviews with 26 program participants over the years (kindergarten teachers, music teachers in kindergartens, musicians, etc.), as well as documents (concert programs, preparation booklets, etc.) from its collaborating bodies. The main findings show the importance and impact of the cooperation between kindergarten teachers and music teachers during the preparatory stages, making music a part of daily life in kindergarten.
