Kids hear verbal instructions all day long.
“Clean your room!” "Eat your dinner!” “Be nice to your brother!”
As a music therapist, I’ve learned that MUSIC can be an incredible tool for communication. Much like talking, actually!
In this episode, I share how I use fewer words and more music in my interaction with kids. And I’ll share how you can do it, too.
Check out the fifth episode of the Music For Kiddos Podcast and I’ll tell you all about it!
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
· How to communicate more with music, and less with words in a child-centered manner.
· Using musical tools such as a melody, chord progressions, and cadences to stack your communication with kids.
· Ways to include verbal instructions during a song and how to incorporate them musically.
· The song: Wandering Song
Today’s song:
“Wandering Song”
This is a song that I use to validate children while they're (you guessed it) wandering and gently & kindly provide them with some structure and instructions within the music.
