GuestMarch 23, 2024 at 9:13 pmTo make it fun and engaging, I’d start by incorporating colorful and
inviting decorations that appeal to children’s senses. I’d also include a
variety of musical instruments, both homemade and store-bought, to
encourage exploration and experimentation.-
Valerrie, your idea to use colorful decorations and a variety of instruments is fantastic! It will definitely engage the children’s senses and foster their creativity.

GuestMarch 24, 2024 at 7:23 pmWhen a building the daycare music corner, I would definitely start off by accumulating or creating instruments that the kids can interact and experiment with! As noted in the training, purchasing toy instruments is a possibility (and can be inexpensive) but have the kids create their own for the center can also make the center more meaningful and FOR them.

Sheila, great idea involving kids in creating their own instruments. It promotes creativity, ownership, and a sense of accomplishment. It’s a wonderful way to make the music corner meaningful for them.

GuestApril 17, 2024 at 9:52 pmThe music center would be fun and interactive for the children. I would put signs with pictures of songs along with the name of the songs written for the children to ask Alexa to play. Instruments would be both real and created by the children, such as a maraca made from easter egg with beans inside in between two spoons. When the children make instruments and see them in another center they are excited and keeps them engaged and excited about music.
