What you’ll gain by using this Educator’s Kit

 

✔ Happy and Responsive Preschoolers

Children aged 3-5 develop their cognitive skills by thinking about the stimulating new content you introduce. Confident children playfully solve musical problems such as making sound from all kinds of sound sources. They also love keeping up with the beat and complex rhythms; improvising and creating their own music. As time goes by they combine the skills of moving, singing and playing for their own pleasure and to enjoy music together.

 

✔ A Wonderful, Flexible Series of Music Sessions

We designed these session ideas to be action-packed with movement and music as the main ingredients and yet brimful of language learning opportunities. You can break-out just a 5 minute activity of combine them to make longer sessions — 10, 20 30 or even 45 minutes with a slow-down music relaxation segments or story songs with books.

 

✔ A Delightful Way to Manage Developmental Assessment

Monitor your children’s physical development over 10 or more weeks. You can watch for learning as they handle the instruments, move their small muscles to the beat and move their whole body gracefully through space in time with the music.

 

✔ Socially Competent Preschoolers

Through the emotional nurture provided by active music-making (e.g.learning lyrics and modulating their voices), your children will increasingly regulate their emotions. This skill is critical for self-understanding and for getting along with others. Understanding the power of music, the language of the emotions, is essential for meta-cognition or  “learning to learn.”

 

✔ Enormous Benefits in Language Development

Just from listening to and learning the songs; the children become better listeners because they regularly tune in to the rhythm of the words in the new songs, learn new vocabulary and practice speech patterns.

 

✔ You Feel Confident Teaching Music

You may not have been ‘trained’ in early childhood music, but that doesn’t mean you can’t learn how to do it on the job. The program is well-designed by a music education expert and tested by many educators. The lessons are prepared for you so that you are able to successfully lead the children in a whole string of activities and if something does go wrong, you have other activities and lessons ready.  You will be able to engage the children in completely new fun or sensitive things to do week after week.

 

✔ You Save Hundreds of Hours

Are you tired of spending your weekends and evenings on planning programs? With this kit you won’t have to figure out the learning opportunities, look up new songs, find the music, think up activities appropriate for the age, or work out a topic that brings everything together. It’s all done for you covering 10 or more weeks in the one program.
