Here was my plan I actually got a chance to use on friday at a drop-in class for parents and toddlers. This is a fairly large group with up to 30 infants-2 year olds and their parents. Previously I had a similar structure but I felt that following the structure of sprouting melodies this passed week really improved the session and had a great natural flow.
Gathering song: Hello EveryBody Percussion: Tralalala
Lap ride: Row your boat / Comin to get ya!
Instrument Song/Movement Song: Sit with me and Shake
Cool Down: This is the way we read a book – Chicka Chicka Boom Boom
Goodbye: Bye-Bye music time is done
Because of time constraints I combined the instrument and movement song to explore physical and instrumental directions such as shaking maracas fast and slow, stomping, etc.

Arrival/Registration – Nesting Time
– Embedded music (Pachelbel Canon with Ocean Sounds)
Use the Embedded music as people gather. Music without words would be my preference as it may be perceived as less complicated less likely to impede any potential conversation with parents.
Fade out Pachelbel as get’s closer to Hello/Gathering. Use the ocean sounds between the iterations of the cannon breath and help parents to center themselves if appropriate.
Hello/Gathering
– Hello to You (M3)
Bonding (Lap Ride/Tickles)
– Row, Row your boat/Row It Faster
Songs About Me
– Just Like Me (EKS)
Instrument Play
– In My Little Hand (EKS)
Gross Motor Movement
– Put your “finger” in the Air
With infants might be modified to be “Arm” or “hand.” Of course, with parents doing the movement of the infant.
Cool Down
– May There Always Be Sunshine (Lullabye)
Cuddling close with baby, rocking/swaying
Change word of “mama” in song to the immediate care-givers name or role with the child.
Goodbye
– Music Time is Done (M3)
