What Might and Infant/Toddler Music Class Look LikeEach year, the infant-toddler program you work in offers a variety of lunch ‘n learn events. The upcoming event is scheduled to be “Making Music Together: The Powerful Role of Music in Your Child’s Life.” Your director has asked you to conduct a 30-minute workshop with your group of parents. Share how you will conduct these parts of the short meeting.

1.    A 10–15 minute informal chat outlining how music supports and nurtures children’s developmental skills. Include ways parents can integrate musical activities at home.
2.    Using the sites provided below, select and teach one lullaby and one musical play song to your families.
How will you introduce each song to the group and what methods will you use to teach each song. Use methods presented in the unit material.  Demonstrate to parents how to make up a verse for each song and suggest this as a strategy to use at home.
 Include ways to support music development in non-mobile babies.
