Preschool Music Class Themes

February 26, 2021 by Megan

When I’m planning and teaching my preschool music class, I always prefer to plan around a theme. I find that have a cohesive topic or idea throughout the class helps the class to flow and keeps the kids’ attention well.

I wanted to compile a master list of themes to refer to when I need inspiration. I plan to add to it over time, but for now, here’s what I’ve got.

Leave a comment and tell me about your favorite preschool music class themes!
