Re-imagining group time, through song
Discover a fresh approach to together time in early childhood settings using the principles of early childhood music education.
Through this professional support, educators can expect to gain new perspectives on group time, and acquire the confidence and resources to integrate these into their own practice.
Jen Teh facilitates a practical demonstration highlighting ways in which the principles of early childhood music education can be adapted and integrated into the early childhood education program and practice.
Educators will join Jen as she interacts with the children at their service through song and music. This will be followed by a reflection on the observed interactions. Educators will discuss practical ways they can integrate the underlying principles of early childhood music education into their own practice.
