MAKING MEANINGFUL MUSIC WITH OUR EARLY LEARNERS
(1-2 hour Webinar)
Many educators lack confidence in their ability to make music with children. They feel they have lost their “mojo” and are doing the “same old same old” year in and year out.
In this practical workshop, you will learn a simple five-part framework for incorporating music into early childhood programs, working through each of the five key musical ingredients - Beat, Singing, Instruments, Movement and Listening.
Walk away with ideas for effective, yet inexpensive props and instruments; as well as easily accessible songs, dances and listening activities that can be incorporated immediately into any early years learning and care program.
(PDF workbook and certificates included.)

What people are saying ...
Early Learning Association of Australia
Anne Belcher has been a professional development presenter with Early Learning Association Australia for several years now and we have always had an overwhelming response to her workshops.
Anne is extremely passionate about inspiring educators and families to bring the joy of music back to early childhood and does so with a contagious energy and warmth.
The professional development workshops she has presented, both in person and online, provide a simple framework that educators can use to bring more meaningful musical experiences to their children.
Anne teaches the educators the importance of music and musical experiences in the early years and how they can use music to promote social-emotional, physical, cognitive and language development.
The feedback from these workshops tell of teachers and educators being inspired to introduce these experiences the very next day because it’s not about the tools and equipment, it’s about following the simple framework that Anne has introduced and adapting it to whichever age group they work with.
They walk away inspired and confident, equipped with new songs and musical activities to take into their classrooms.
Anne is a wonderful presenter and certainly an expert in her field of music. She’s engaging, funny, relatable, has an enormous repertoire of music experiences and songs and is a great communicator.
