This course begins June 14, 2023 and runs for 10 weeks.

Sprouting Melodies® training will give you an extensive background in planning for, creating and presenting music that is developmentally appropriate as well as engaging and motivating for children as well as families. A core repertoire of quality interventions and songs will be available through Sprouting Melodies® in order to help you design session plans. There will also be support and guidance if you choose to create unique musical material.

Online Training

Each weekly session includes recorded presentations and self-guided assignments, supported with student and teacher forums. All participants will also be invited to a Live Zoom Call with Meredith and Beth to complement all that you are learning in the course! And don’t worry!
