Sparking Creativity For Children
A Rosalie Moscoe Workshop Opportunity
For Parents, Teachers, Librarians, Daycare Providers, or Speech Pathologists for Young Children 3-7!
Have you ever felt as though you couldn’t get through to your kids? Do they spend too much time on their IPhones, or playing video games? Do they argue with siblings or watch too much TV? I’ve been there and I’d go to sleep vowing I would be a better parent tomorrow. But the next day was the same.
When my daughter was 3, I started singing in her nursery school class when I heard that she would not talk to anyone there. Her teacher asked me if she could even speak!
I answered, “She started to talk at 8 months old!”
I felt like the guilty mother sending my daughter off at 3. The next day I went to her school to sing songs that I always sang at home - with my ukulele! I thought that might help her adjust.
The next day, the teacher called and said, “Your daughter hasn’t stopped talking!”
Over the years, I witnessed this again and again –children who blossomed due to music and fun—at day camps, library children’s music programs, children’s hospitals, and at large concert halls across Canada.
My original songs are about fun, fantasy, feelings, self-esteem, and self-empowerment. I was thrilled to be nominated for 2 JUNO Awards for Best Children’s Album in Canada. I was gratified to present workshops to Early Childhood Educators and to University Faculties of Education at many provinces in Canada.
What Will You Learn?
1. Inspiring ways to spark children’s creativity.
2. The enjoyment of group singing with simple songs, and the importance of repetition of songs especially for those learning English as a second language.
3. Fun ways to use theme of the day songs: raining, snowing, sunny, windy.
4. Enlightening ways to use movement songs, as young children need to move.
5. How and when to include quiet time songs for relaxation especially for those children who are over-active.
6. Illuminating ways to introduce music instruments in class or at home, use of puppets for drama and fun, along with drawing to music.
7. Valuable ways to explore the songs by using questions for discussion and activities with the children.
Hands down, you’ll learn lots of practical ideas and have a great time!
Many songs will be either traditional or my own recorded music.
