The Treasure Box

The Preschool Music Treasure Box is a curated collection of the very best preschool music resources, ideas, and materials for parents of young children and preschool music teachers.

Parents, do you ever find yourself irritated with annoying YouTube videos of kids’ songs? Do you wish you had the tools to teach your children the very basics of music so that they can enjoy a lifetime of satisfaction with music? Maybe your kids will start formal music lessons soon. Maybe they will fall in love with theater, singing, and dancing when they’re a little older. It’s never too early to instill a love for music and to make music an intentional and integral part of your child’s day.

Teachers, do you find yourself searching the depths of the internet for the best preschool music themes and songs? Do you find yourself repeating the same few songs and activities over and over? Do you get in a rut when it comes time to plan lessons?

The Preschool Music Treasure Box was designed to simplify and streamline music planning and preparation for parents and educators.

                        What is the Preschool Music Treasure Box?
                                        
                
                    The Preschool Music Treasure Box is a curated collection of songs appropriate for toddlers and preschoolers. Each month is centered around a particular theme and musical concept. There are related stories to go along with the theme. The content is meant to be used in either a one-on-one or group setting.

                        What sort of songs are on the playlists?
                                        
                
                    I always aim to select music that the whole family will enjoy. I stay away from songs that adults would find baby-ish and annoying and instead only select music from high-quality children's artists that even the parents can get into. I often draw from music that is kid-friendly but not necessarily written for kids. I make it a huge priority to include classical music so that children and their parents are exposed to the rich tradition of music.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        What sort of storybooks are involved?
                                        
                
                    I select stories that many families already have at home or that are easy to find in public libraries. I also try to include a couple of less-common titles in case you're hoping to expand your children's book library or try something new. Some of the books included in the past have been things like "Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle, and "Little Blue Truck" by Alice Schertle.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        What supplies do I need?
                                        
                
                    You may want a printer, but it's not necessary. I find it unnecessary to purchase a lot of extra books and supplies for preschool music, so my suggestions generally include minimal props or instruments. I'd recommend having a small collection of scarves, egg shakers, bells, rhythm sticks, and other similar instruments, but with young children, it's often true that less is more.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        Where can I find the music?
                                        
                
                    Most of the music can be found on whatever streaming service you want to use. There is also a Spotify playlist with the music for that month's theme.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        Do I need musical knowledge?
                                        
                
                    I find songs that are super simple to sing so that parents and teachers don't have to spend time learning music and memorizing lyrics - they're based on familiar tunes like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" or "The Wheels On The Bus." For other songs, I include lead sheets with chords in the key of C so that someone with minimal music knowledge can play along on the piano, guitar, or ukulele. I keep musical concepts and skills very basic so that any adult can understand and facilitate learning - even without a musical background yourself!                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        Do the themes ever repeat?
                                        
                
                    At this point, there are enough themes for over a year's worth of content. More will continue to be added. Themes may be repeated in the future but it will likely be at intervals of over a year or more.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        When is new content added?
                                        
                
                    A new theme is added by the 10th of every month.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        How long do I have access to this?
                                        
                
                    You'll have access as long as your membership is active. I only leave three months' worth of content at a time available in the membership. You can download and keep the materials.                
                                
                                            
                            
                            
                        
                        How long does this membership last?
                                        
                
                    This is a reoccurring monthly membership. You can cancel your membership at any time.

I’m really picky when it comes to selecting music and activities for the littlest musicians. I want to keep things super simple for the grown-ups and give kids the best possible music experience.
