Students will learn through interactive musical activities including singing, dancing, clapping, and more! A typical music class includes the following: 1. Hello Song: Students sing hello and are encouraged to say "hello" to the teacher and to each other 2. "We Will Rock You" Song: Students answer the question "How are you?" while stomping and clapping the beat. 3. Music Together: Students participate in a series of movements and call-and-response vocal activities 4. Themed Music: Depending on the time of year, I may choose to include themed music for special events, seasons, holidays, or the weather. 5. Goodbye Song: We will sing/answer questions about what we did during class and each student will say goodbye to the teacher and his/her peers. Visual pictures and storytelling are included to exemplify and encourage participation. Nonverbal children are absolutely welcome in this class.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As a board-certified music therapist, I have a wealth of experience in working with children who have special needs. I have worked with individuals who are both nonverbal and verbal in both one-on-one and group settings. Through the power of music, I have seen children shift from nonverbal to verbal in a matter of minutes. I look forward to meeting your precious child and please feel free to message me with any information that you would like me to know about your particular child's needs prior to class. Reviews
