July 19, 2016 at 3:59 pmParticipantFor me a moment that I saw a child with failure to thrive, THRIVE in music! Just starting to crawl at 18 months old, this young boy was quite motivated by the guitar. Placing myself a couple feet out of reach from him I strummed and sang his favorite song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. After recognizing the song, he watched as I played and sang, the second time through he started to scoot himself forward, which turned into his crawling for the first time and reaching up to strum with me! His grandmother was in tears seeing him crawl for the first time and it was amazing to be apart of this moment! I would say he was in the trust phase of musical development.

in reply to: Sing and learn some of the songs presented in the video. Share with the board your experiences using these songs.
ParticipantThe songs presented were wonderful! Earlier in the year I saw Meredith and Beth present and was able to sing some of the same songs! ( Wiggly Jiggly Car) It was very exciting for me to get to the music part of this course. I love learning new repertoire!

in reply to: Discuss with the board the traditional and cultural music in your home community.
ParticipantThe cultural songs for early learning are traditional, Old MacDonald, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Twinkle Twinkle etc. Several families I work with know and love music together songs. One of which I heard in the training this week! (Music In Me) How neat! I miss the rich cultural experience I had within my music therapy internship at Shriners Burn Hospital in Boston. It was amazing learning music from all over the world!
June 30, 2016 at 9:04 pmParticipantEarly childhood music has always been a passion of mind whether in music therapy groups, parent/child music groups or traditional music lessons. I have gained a lot of knowledge in sharing music with children over the past 17 years. Currently my daughter is 3 and my son is 10 months old, my life is so busy and beautiful! My children have taught me so much about being a developing little being. Having children of my own also has helped me to relate and interact with parents on a different level than prior to having kids.

in reply to: What was your most valuable takeaway from this weeks’ content?
ParticipantMy take away fro this week’s material is that Beth reminded me that sometimes just thinking about what the experience may e like for the child is not always enough, sometimes you have to actually “jump”! My most memorable music moments in early childhood music groups was when I was really enjoying the silliness/songs/movements right along with the children. Sometimes as a music therapist I can become so goal oriented that I can focus too much on getting responses and not enough experiencing together. I look forward to next week and diving into the music aspect!
ParticipantHello! My name is Elizabeth and have a private practice in NH. When I went to college for music therapy I also minored in child psychology. I am looking forward to bringing all the developmental stages of childhood together with musicing! So excited for this course!
