What are your concerns about planning music experiences and how do you plan to overcome them?•    Imagine that during your initial parent orientation meeting, the parent of one of the children in your group (who is an accomplished pianist) asks you who will teach her child music. She assumes it will not be you as there is no piano in your room. How will you answer her? Include in your answer how you would conduct a singing activity without a piano. Explain the value and benefits of developmentally appropriate music experiences that will support her daughter’s musical growth. •   Visit the website, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences site, and view the index of songs and lyrics.
