Introduction
In this episode, I’m talking with Liv McLennan, who is a community musician and a specialist in early years / pre-school music.
We discuss what parents and carers can do to introduce music to their pre-school child, and share some starting points and ideas for making music with babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers.
You can listen now below, or on Spotify and iTunes (search for the name).
