Music as the Pathway to Self-Regulation, Cognitive Development, and Joy in Preschool Classrooms

Let’s explore how musical learning, exploration, and play can be incorporated into your daily schedule to boost the cognitive development and important social skills of your students while bringing more love, joy, and connection into your classroom community. In this edWebinar, we start with a brief review of current early childhood brain research, grounding ourselves in how musical learning supports everything from early literacy skills, language development, and mathematical thinking to developing self-regulation skills, empathy toward others, and a healthy, happy classroom climate. We then dive into how to make the musical magic happen in the classroom, even if you’ve never sung a note in your life!

Viewers leave feeling inspired to start adding high-quality musical learning into their daily classroom schedule with a toolbox full of age-appropriate songs, fingerplays, and musical activities to engage all of their students. This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK teachers, school leaders, and district leaders.
