I'VE GOT THE
MUSIC IN ME
Integrating Music with Clarity, Purpose, and Confidence in Early Childhood
A self-paced online course for educators, therapists, caregivers, and parents who support young children.
You may already use music every day but still wonder:
How can I use music more intentionally and effectively with young children?
Why do certain songs or musical experiences help children engage, regulate, communicate, or connect?
How can I move beyond using the same songs and routines over and over again?
How can music feel more purposeful and sustainable in my setting?
How do I better support development through music while staying aligned with my professional role?
Songs ease transitions.
Rhythm invites engagement and participation. Musical routines create connection, predictability, and joy.
I'VE GOT THE
MUSIC IN ME
I’ve Got the Music In Me doesn’t hand you more songs. It gives you a developmental framework for the work you’re already doing – so every musical choice becomes purposeful, responsive, and grounded in how young children grow. Whether you work in a classroom, therapy setting, childcare center, early intervention program, or at home, you’ll leave with a practical framework you can return to again and again.
