Hello and welcome! This channel features music-based resources for kids & families, teachers, and related therapists working on various goals in academic, social-emotional, motor skill, and other areas. Songs introduced include well-known folk songs, adaptations from favorite children's artists, and originals. Children's books are brought life through song, visuals, and movement to support developmental goals and cross-curricular learning. Music learning such as instrument vocabulary, creative movement to music, beat motion, and more is embedded into videos to support accessible music education for all. Melissa is a board-certified music therapist, music educator, mom, author, and barbershop baritone.
