Learn about the power of voice, song and rhythm 

New and experienced Early Childhood Educators and Family Resource Program Facilitators will learn about the power of voice, song and rhythm and its uses in early learning programs. 

Participants will learn simple vocal exercises and stretches to warm up in preparation for using songs, as well as, learn how to make use of and teach the value of rhythm to parents for use with their infants and young children. There will be information provided on the role music and song play in attachment and early literacy and participants will learn new songs to add to their repertoire. Participants will also have an opportunity to talk about challenges and ideas around the use of song in early learning programs.
