Often I have gone to a group with my plan , then because of the moment changed everything to best meet the needs of the people present. I feel this is one of the great skills we possess.

in reply to: How are you planning on sharing this information with colleagues, administrators and families?
ParticipantThroughout the class, I have been informing colleagues, administrators and families while at conferences, workshops, play group, Breastfeeding Task Force and other gathering that this program will soon be available. I have spoken with 2 non-profits and the Director of Maternal Infant Health Services within our states Department of Health and Human Services. Also, progress has been shared and will continue to be shared via social media and within this community. It is my hope to connect with several of the local Community Health Centers and Community Mental Health Centers to collaborate in offering programs to meet the needs of our young children and families. I would also enjoy educating the Home Visiting Agency teams in ways in which they can use music during their parenting classes and home visits. As Our Governor has recently signed a bill adding more staffing to our CPS, this may be a great time to develop a relationship with the Division of Child, Youth and Families.
ParticipantIt is my hope to return to work soon. And when that happens it with be with a renewed vigor for providing exceptional music therapy services for children, families and seniors. Hopefully I will be able to become an SMP and share this with magical program with our community and smaller communities in vital need of early childhood and family/caregiver programs!
This training will allow me to add to the programs I previously offered in my practice. As a music therapist I have access to learning whole new repertoire specific to early childhood to share with families that hopefully become part of their music making at home and even sound tracks to their early lives!June 3, 2019 at 11:43 am

Goodbye song: See you later EveryoneParticipantOh the challenges are fun! to list a few: sometimes jealousy rears its head between siblings; the idea of “trading” verses “sharing; parents/loved ones seeing a child that is the same age as their child and having realistic expectations and understanding that children develop uniquely.
Thoughts…gosh this could lead to a diatribe! Right now I am thinking of starting a group at several libraries. Then I would like to collaborate with our local non-profits, Early Head Start, Head Start and Community action to target at-risk families as music is a powerful positive childhood experience which may mitigate adverse childhood experiences and lead to long-term better health outcomes.

in reply to: Share how you can explain to parents the difference between music for development and music for skill building.
ParticipantDevelopmental music engages families in an opportunity for attachment, bonding, sharing joy and supporting the journey through early childhood stages.
Music to help develop skills is focused on attaining specific language, motor, cognitive, emotional, spiritual expected at certain times within a child’s growth development.

ParticipantEngaging young children and their loved ones in joyful music is what I look forward to most! With that, SM has a lovely arc to the group which provides a structure of predictability and comfort. With our knowledge of childhood development and music development, we have a unique way to connect and educate loved ones and professionals. Additionally, I am thrilled to receive more support to build this into my business and look forward to continued collaboration with professionals passionate about early childhood music!
ParticipantSimply stated, success is meeting each child and family where they are at and in the moment being responsive. Being present and authentic with each individual through music and in music conversation is valuable. Then following up after the group to more formally connect and support.
ParticipantI too am thrilled about the kits available as a SMP! Such fantastic support!
