%X The aim of this article is to analyse teachersĄ¯ changing ways of talking about childrenĄ¯s aesthetic learn-  ing in the early years as a result of a research and development project. With a point of departure in developmen-  tal and variation theory, a praxis oriented project was designed with the aim of finding out whether collaborative  talk and meta-cognitive dialogues could contribute to childrenĄ¯s learning of music, dance and poetry. The partici-  pating teachers were offered in-service training in order to develop a new way of teaching and new ways of think-  ing about the curriculum and childrenĄ¯s learning. Interviews with the teachers were carried out at the beginning  and the end of the project. The teachersĄ¯ learning was expressed in changed ways of talking about aesthetics and  learning. From an emphasis on personality development and the teacherĄ¯s lack of expertise with the aesthetic sub-  jects as an obstacle, the teachers expressed a view of having become more aware of the concept of learning objects  in the aesthetics, of their own role as teachers in directing childrenĄ¯s attention and to listen to children. The teach-  ers thus gained a new way of talking about themselves as teachers and about childrenĄ¯s learning within music,  dance and poetry.
