Start Your Own Children's Music and Movement Program! Teacher Training Manual (pdf version)

We are excited to be sharing our Children's Music and Movement100 page manual to help teachers, parents and adults receive the tools needed to start Children's Programs in your own cities! Uncle Johnny from tunetownkids.com and Miss Nancy from Dance with Nance are ready to share their experience and knowledge from teaching and composing music for Mommy/Me, Preschool and elementary age children.. Our mission is to better prepare you for your own personal journey and desire to teach children music and movement in a fun and delightful way!

We believe teachers that are drawn to help children “discover” and “tap into” the creative arts are “Called” to this mission, and the calling also comes from an “innate desire to immerse ourselves in the gift of music and movement”, in part to heal our own inner child as we seem to teach what we love (and need) to learn ourselves. But what a blessing to be receiving and giving at the same time!

We all have memories of our favorite music or dance teacher, and the one thing in common seems to be that we felt that they truly believed in us. When this love is present, children can receive the lesson and take it in with no resistance. It becomes a blessing for both teacher and student and the learning begins!

It is our sincere desire that whether you are a parent, teacher or desiring to learn more about children, that we can help you “help children” enjoy music and dance, and begin to dive deeper in to their own creative gift to use as a tool for healing…a tool for fun, and a tool for music appreciation so that they can share their gifts with others in a safe space as they grow and mature~

We will be taking you on a journey to recapture some of your own, “inner child joy” so be prepared to smile and play through this training! Playful assignments, interactive lesson plans, lectures and helpful tools will be shared so you are ready to journey into the field of teaching children music and movement as soon as you decide that IT”S TIME!100 page Teacher Manual pdf version
