Sing-Along Stories: 12 Singable Books For Kids
Mini-Course
Hello and welcome to our (free) mini-course!
In this mini-course (that you can submit as a 1 credit professional development opportunity if you are a music therapist or a music educator), I share why I love using sing-along stories in my music classes with kids. I also share original melodies for my 12 favorite sing-along books that live inside the Music For Kiddos Community, our membership with monthly lesson plans, implementation ideas, support, and 600+ early childhood resources (including 70+ melodies for sing-along books!).
Instructions:
Download the course PDF [below] which includes implementation ideas and adaptations for all of the books that we will be sharing throughout this course.
Once you finish all of the videos, refer to the steps at the bottom of this page to receive your certificate of professional development.
