ModeratorDebbie, I think you pointed out how we can convey the work we do in language that would be understood by other professionals. Great insights!

ModeratorRemember to save your responses. These are wonderful things to look back at when you are creating new programs and advocating for your services.

ModeratorGreat thoughts! You are welcome to share how you use these music experiences with the community you are working with now too.
ModeratorThank you for that feedback! Meredith and Elizabeth are going to be sending something out shortly as this all used to be in one week but stretched things out to the next few weeks as it was a lot to do in one week. I’m so glad you found the book!
ModeratorHi Everyone,
Don’t forget to save your responses in a text or word processing file so that you have them when you are moving on into early childhood music therapy work.
ModeratorHi Maria,
I believe the question was regarding the embedded songs and you could also take a look at the songs in the PDF’s. I will reach out to Meredith and Elizabeth to ask them.
ModeratorThose are excellent points Mikelia, thank you for sharing. I think what is also important that we share with families that neurodivergence will not only not have a “typical” development, but they will have their own line of development and this is okay too. Many times families become terrified that there is something “wrong” with their child when there is a neurodivergence. This gives us a wonderful opportunity to highlight that development is not linear and not always in a “typical” fashion.
ModeratorThank you both for sharing all that you bring to this training. You each have a unique background that is very valuable to the early childhood community. Thank you for also interacting with each other! This will deepen your understanding!
ModeratorCongratulations on the birth of your little one! I took the Sprouting Melodies training when I was pregnant with my child and I started moderating this training and my own Sprouting Melodies program shortly after my daughter was born. Welcome to the training!
ModeratorIt is a pleasure to virtually meet each of you. It is always interesting to read about each participant’s background and experience. Thank you for sharing!
ModeratorHello everyone. My name is Erika Svolos. I am the online moderator for this training. I live in New Jersey with my husband, my almost 7.5 yo daughter, and our cat Moose. It is a joy to be a part of this fantastic program and to join in your Sprouting Melodies journey. I am a graduate of Marywood University, currently, a graduate student at Montclair State University, and have been a music therapist in New Jersey for over 20 years. Over that time, I have worked in a variety of settings including in-patient child/adolescent psychiatry, a private clinic for autism, a large urban public school system, private practice, a private special education high school for individuals with emotional and behavioral disorders, and a private Orthodox Jewish special education school. In August 2013 I started my own business/private practice; Music Therapy Services of New Jersey, LLC. I completed the April 2013 Sprouting Melodies online training and it was a wonderful addition to my practice. I began offering Sprouting Melodies classes in February of 2014 and I’ve truly enjoyed working with my SM families. I have been moderating the Sprouting Melodies Online Training for the past 7.5 years.
I will be assisting with any questions and/or technical difficulties.
