Today's Preview of the Sing With Our Kids: Let's Share!
One of the things that will make SingWIthOurKids.com so rich in content will be your input and experiences. And since I have had my artist site (www.Nancymusic.com) for twelve years, I have a wealth of expertise waiting in the wings. Over the years I've received many e-mails from librarians, preschool and kindergarten teachers, ELL teachers, speech therapists, music therapists, and special ed teachers, Each has noted specific songs they've found valuable in their work, and many have shared how they have come up with their own ideas.There is a lot of wisdom, a lot of experience, and a lot of expertise. So let's use it!
On the SIngWithOurKids website I'll have a sharing section, where experts (if you had an idea that works, you're an expert!) either professional or not, can share their wisdom and experience. I'll put together a standard format for their submission, which will include a paragraph or two about their area of expertise, a suggested list of songs they've used successfully (which willl of course have links to the free downloads), and a short comment about the specific value of each song. For example, a special education teacher might talk about autism, and list several songs she has found work, and what she likes about them. Or a teacher might write about how she or he has changed or expanded a song, or made a prop to use with it.
I realize I already have a team of experts in my saved e-mails, and I will be inviting them to share their wonderful expertise and experience with you. If you have used songs from Nancymusic.com and would like to share your experience or wisdom, send me an e-mail or write a post. I'd love to hear from you!
The beauty of songs is that are jumping off places! When I share a song with you, it becomes your song. You might make up different words or tune, or think of a completely different way to use it. In this way the SIngWIthOurKids website will truly belong to all of us. And that will be success!
