Sandi will give an overview of the Phoenix Cups Framework, explaining how it offers us an insightful approach to understanding our wellbeing needs. She will explore how music contributes to filling each of our Cups. After all, music is a universal language that transcends barriers, and weaves its way into the fabric of human existence. It has the capacity to elicit emotions, spur creativity, and bring people from different backgrounds together. Not only does music entertain us, but also serves as an outlet for self-expression. Studies have even noted therapeutic effects from music such as stress relief and improved cognitive functioning. Therefore, combining the Phoenix Cups framework with music is a no brainer as an approach to enriching our lives.
Tasha and Sandi will relate this to early years learning environments, at home and in the setting, giving tips for using music to support children and staff wellbeing at the same time.
Tasha will cover 2 Boogie Mites songs that you can trial with the children, to observe their response, the effect on mood of children and staff. An energising song and a calm down song.
