Singing and music with EYFS and SEND

Singing and music making at Forest School - in the early years and SEND. This workshop will primarily focus on the early years and children with SEND. We will explore the power and benefits of using song and music with young people. It is beneficial to health and well being, helping us to connect to our bodies and emotions. It is a great connector; connecting us to each other and a sense of community. It can connect us to our creativity and playfulness, and to the wider natural world. Music and sound play an important role in sensory development and learning. We will explore ways that we can enrich the sensory experience for the child and encourage and support sound exploration and play. The workshop will offer a supportive space for us to share ideas, songs and experiences. The aim is that you come away feeling inspired to use music making and singing more in your sessions; feel more confident to do so and take away practical ideas and songs.
