Online Webinar: Using Music to Support Emotional Wellbeing

Music is everywhere in childhood - from nursery rhymes at circle time to songs in the car and lullabies at bedtime. But beyond fun and entertainment, music holds the power to shape emotional wellbeing, connection, and confidence in remarkable ways.

This webinar offers a clear, encouraging look at how early years educators and family professionals can use songs and musical rituals to support children’s emotional health. Whether you’re in a nursery, preschool, school, or community setting, you’ll gain practical insight into how music can calm anxiety, strengthen relationships, and help children recognise and regulate emotions.

With thought-provoking reflection and real-life examples, we’ll explore how music can become a natural part of your emotional wellbeing practice - not just an activity, but a language of connection that nurtures safety, belonging, and joy.
