I was so inspired by my recent conversation with Stephanie Leavell and I am sure you will be too! Listen to learn about Stephanie's journey to music therapy, her process of intentional songwriting and how there are TWO music therapists in her family.  Minute 35-literally blew my mind and I now dream of joining Stephanie's band. Stephanie believes that music is a great communicator and she uses all elements of music to communicate. Her music has something for all children to engage with as she expresses the intention of the song using rhythm, lyrics, melody and instrumentation. Stephanie is the creator of Music for Kiddos, a website that provides high-quality music and music resources for music therapists, music educators, and parents. She's mom to a spunky young daughter, a seasoned performer, an experienced music educator, and a board certified music therapist. Stephanie is a Berklee College of Music graduate and is passionate about using music to help kids succeed. She specializes in working with babies and kids through age 6. Stephanie jokes that she has a low tolerance for cheesy music. She writes music to help kids be successful in their daily life: night-time routines, transitions, movement, instrument exploration, academic concepts, and helping kids understand and express their feelings. Music cannot be "prescribed", because the effectiveness of music is highly individualized, but this is a starting point... some tried and true music and resources that you might find helpful, too.
