Abstract: Music is one excellent subject whose importance transcends what men generally sees it to be. Hence they see it as solely for entertainment. Obviously the importance and benefits of music transcend its entertainment objective. Music is said to be a universal language of the soul, and as such can achieve more vital issues than ordinary words or other subjects can ever achieve. Its role in early childhood education in the social, psychological and spiritual development of the children surpasses what mere words can explain. Unfortunately many parents and childhood educators are quite ignorant of this and as such struggles in these areas. It is this unfortunate situation that this paper is out to address; hence it x-rays the role of music in the social, moral and spiritual life of the children in early childhood.
