Make It Musical: Tools for Engaging Young Children & Families

Tuesday June 23, 2026 9:00am - 10:00am EDT

Noda

Music is one of the most powerful tools for engaging young children and their families. In this session, we’ll explore how intention, music, movement, stories, and simple props can create experiences that are engaging, welcoming, and adaptable across a wide range of settings and skill levels. Whether you’re a musician or not, you’ll leave with practical tools for keeping attention, supporting transitions, and creating meaningful moments of connection. Tkiya’s approach to programming flows with attention span and provides access points for different learning styles. We’ll model how these techniques can be applied in multiple settings.
