Early childhood professionals are invited to attend “Supporting Young Children’s Brain Development Through Music” to gain knowledge on how to intentionally use music in their day-to-day work with children to support development.
About
This webinar will discuss the ways in which music participation in early childhood naturally supports the brain development of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. Developmentally appropriate music activities can be an enjoyable and easy way for educators to support the development of important structural changes, neurological processes, and cognitive skills during this very active time of development. Attendees will learn about recent research, gain a deeper understanding of music’s impact on the developing brain, and gain musical tools and interaction ideas that support young children’s development.
This webinar is suited for pre-k through elementary grade level teachers. Time for questions will be provided.
