120- Songwriting and teaching music to younger students with Stephanie Leavell

Today on the podcast, I'm talking to Stephanie Leavell about songwriting AND teaching music to preschool and kindergarten students.  We talk about her process for songwriting and how she doesn't complicate it, teaching music, using music for transitions, and musical cues that work amazingly well with the littlest of students.  Stephanie Leavell is a board certified music therapist, music educator and the founder of Music for Kiddos-- a website dedicated to high-quality children's music. She's a songwriter, Berklee College of Music grad, and is passionate about using music to support kids academically, socially, and developmentally.
