Maybe you’re currently prepping to go back-to-school. Maybe you’re planning your preschool or kindergarten music lesson plans on a weekend. Perhaps you’re a music therapist looking for songs or ideas for your next music therapy session. Whatever you’re doing right now or however you found this blog post, know that this blog post was created to serve as a one-stop source of the music therapy and music education ideas, free songs & resources that we have available here on our website, MusicForKiddos.com.
The songs, resources, lesson & session ideas in this resource-round up are sourced from the conversations and resources shared on the Music For Kiddos Podcast, our blog posts, & on our YouTube channel.
Our mission is to provide music therapists, music educators and anyone who works with kids with high-quality, early childhood music & resources. Most of the songs & resources on this comprehensive list were created with preschool & kindergarten children in mind however, many can be adapted to be used with older children (some have even told me they’ve used songs like this one with their adult clients!).
So here it is, our list of songs, resources & ideas that we’ve shared in previous blog posts or on the podcast, all in one place:
