If You’re Happy and You Know It
Using music to build brains, motivate movement, foster friendships and generate joy
Empowering educators to effectively incorporate music into their work with babies, toddlers and young children. Educators can expect to develop their understanding of the role that music can play in child development, and gain the confidence and resources to integrate music into their daily practise.
Jen Teh facilitates a workshop that will explore the importance of music in the neurological, physical, social and emotional development of young children. Educators will discover the many and varied ways in which simple yet effective musical interactions can impact significantly upon children’s learning.
