Thank you for sharing your valuable insights! So much of what you shared is what we do in Sprouting Melodies Classes to ensure every child enjoys the class.

Thank you all for your wonderful insights!

How wonderful that you were able to educate the staff and they then allowed the children to express themselves freely without the restrictions of hand over hand.

This question is a great way to help you identify how your background and skill base is valuable to community based work and settings.

Don’t forget to come back, read, and respond to your fellow participants. This a great question to get ideas from others.

This a great place to save your responses. It can be helpful with facilitating future sessions as well as sharing information with colleagues and families.

Thank you all for your responses 🙂

We find this question is a great reminder to identify the unique qualities you have to support young children and their families.

Hi Everyone,

This is a great question to not only get you thinking about the needs in your community, but also about how your background and specializations are unique in filling those needs.

Great sequences, thank you 🙂

Thank you for sharing all the creative ways you are using these music experiences. I always find questions like this help to tap into my own creativity and I get new ideas from other’s responses as well.

Thank you for your insights Holly and Liz!

Something that Elizabeth S. has shared with repetition, that I found so helpful in my work, is that each time we repeat a verse or song, it’s done slightly different. For example, changing the tempo, dynamics, articulation, and/or improvising with new lyrics.

Hi Everyone,

A few things:

*Please be mindful to only answer the questions in the topics created by Brandit and avoid creating a new topic of your own to answer the questions for each week. I will be deleting any new topics created as new topics not created by our team create a lot of confusion.

*Please be mindful to come back and read other’s responses and to respond to at least one participant. This will give you more of the depth of the training.

*If you have not already sent us a signed SMT Agreement and Ground Rules document, please do that as soon as possible and send to Michelle Dumas at info@raisingharmony.com.

*This question can be confusing for some participants. Elizabeth and Meredith gave a PDF (located on the landing page) to help with completing this question. If you still need any help, I can share a sample response to this question to assist you.

If you need any assistance, do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you,

Erika

Hi Diandra,

Thank you for that very important point! No right or wrong and how important it is for children to have bodily autonomy and freedom to explore and express themselves.
