I started a branch-off of the Rockin’ and Readin’ program (which is geared towards children ages 4-7) called Mommy & Me at the Library. We used a pre-formed group of moms that was already coming to the library for story time for their babies and toddlers. Maybe that is a possibility if such a group exists at your library!

Looking for key elements that set us apart as music therapists!
Interestingly, they also said they don’t typically do groups for babies because they don’t get enough numbers. As a Mom I’m looking for groups as the library to go to meet other parents! Gotta sell this one!

Thanks Kristin!
The groups are 45-minutes long and usually held on a Saturday morning or Tuesday evening.

I don’t have any resources, per say, for starting a program. I would just say get in there and do some calling around!

Re: resources and children’s books: I have some blog posts about my favorite Book n’ Songs to use: https://whmusictherapy.com/category/book-n-song/

I also have something in the works about this topic….stay tuned for details on this in the coming months!

Hope this helps! Amy :)

How long are your groups? Do you have some specific resources for those of us thinking of starting a program? Resource books, children books, songbooks?
Great post!

I look forward to getting in contact my local library! I have thought about this for awhile! I made contact once, but never received a reply. Time to try again!

That’s great to hear! I love doing stories and books with the children I work with as well. :)

I often share books or stories in my sessions with preschoolers.
