Wow, has January been a whirlwind of a month. Shortly after the start of a new year and new decade, my private practice and teaching studio went into full swing, including a full slate of fresh music classes for children ranging from early childhood to early elementary ages. On top of that, I got to launch my new book and 6 CMTE course, Innovative Income for Music Therapists, earlier this week.
Suffice it to say that in February, my plan is to REST. In fact, that is one of my goals for 2020 — not only to get more sleep, but to enjoy downtime without feeling antsy. My mind and body are still in turbo-mode, so I’m looking forward to next month and the opportunity to chill.
I hope that having this session plan in hand way in advance will help you to do that, too, instead of going into planning overdrive and scrambling to prepare your groups and classes. For the month of February, I’m incorporating rhythm sticks, other small percussion instruments, scarves, and plenty of opportunities for addressing emotions (especially LOVE!), impulse control, counting, gross motor movement, and much more.
The February session plan includes 10 goal-based songs (mp3, instrumental track, lyrics/chords) along with a facilitation guide for each song, which will allow you to implement a cohesive 30-45 minute music experience. Grab it for yourself for just $10.
