Early Years Music Scotland is delivering a year-long programme of free, high-quality, creative and inspiring continuous professional learning and development for musicians working with children in the early years across Scotland, supported by Creative Scotland's Youth Music Initiative.
This workshop is free-of-charge to musicians who are resident in Scotland and working with children in the early years (0-5yrs). Non-Scottish residents and non-musicians may purchase a ticket.
This workshop will be recorded and available to view for one month following the event. The recording will be sent to all ticket holders within 48 hours of the event.

What works well with babies & toddlers? This workshop will explore tried-and-tested repertoire for the very early years, activities for young children and their carers to enjoy together, and realistic aims for this stage of development. Feel free to bring a song to share or a question to discuss!
