Great points here Dan! Although there’s some broad generalizations development can also be so fluid child to child depending on so many factors. Meeting kids exactly where they are and providing fun and engaging opportunities to facilitate growth and development is the name of the game.
ParticipantSome of my biggest take aways is how musically intelligent at such a young age babies are. From being able to decipher between various vocal tones and inflections to understanding musical cues before they have language is pretty remarkable. Also, the various common behaviors laid out in each stage. For example 6 -9 mouth olds and/or developmentally 6-9 month olds mouth things and that’s OK as long as they’re not biting or mouthing anything they can choke on. It’s a great reminder to sometimes simply just let them act out these common behaviors in a safe way as well as remembering that it’s just them exploring and learning what their surroundings are which is a major aspect of their development.

ParticipantHello everyone! I’m Mark Dunford. I live in Boston and I graduated with a Bachelor’s in music therapy from Berklee in Boston, MA in 2022. I’ve been a programmatic specialist at Roman music therapy services in Wakefield, MA for almost a year now. I completed my internship at Kennedy Day School in Brighton, MA in 2022. I’m primarily a guitarist and dabble on drums, bass, and piano. I’m currently working in many settings within the community but most of my experience is in group work in schools. I don’t have much experience in early childhood development so I’m excited to increase my confidence and skills in this area.
Looking forward to learning from all of you!
