I am so happy that I found Stephanie & Music for Kiddos! I love (and share) her passion and commitment to honoring children and meeting them where they are, and I especially love her energy. She manages to keep her songs and activities entertaining and engaging, while keeping things safe and calm. I tend to go big sometimes, but I have adopted some of Stephanie’s strategies and they bring a beautiful balance to my classes. I look forward to every podcast because she gives a lot of “how to” tips, but never loses sight of the WHY. She makes me feel proud to be an early childhood educator.

I cannot express how much I love this podcast and Stephanie Leavell. You are amazing and an inspiration! If you are an elementary music teacher, THIS is where you need to be. Devour ALL of her resources AND website.

I recently found the Music for Kiddos podcast and I look forward to it every week. I teach a preschool music class a couple times a week and I thought Stephanie’s tips were so helpful. She has the perfect “podcast voice” (which is such a make it or break it thing for me haha) and just makes you feel relaxed & calm as you listen. Even when the episodes are more geared toward Music Therapists, I find the information extremely beneficial for myself. I am loving all that I learn here, thank you!!

Wonderful podcast full of practical encouragement for anyone who works with children and music! Stephanie’s songs and lesson plans are also wonderful. If you don’t already subscribe to her free “Song of the Month” emails, I highly recommend them. Her songs have such a special role in my elementary music classroom and are always a hit with my students!

I love this podcast! Every week I feel inspired and/or validated by the content as a music therapist working with young kids. Stephanie is so genuine as well as generous with her time and resources. I also love the length as it’s perfect for my commute time!

This is my all-time favorite podcast. I look forward to my drive to work on Tuesdays because I know it's Music for Kiddos podcast day! Wonderful interviews and so many great resources.

As a traveling music therapist/music educator I listen to a lot of podcasts. As soon as I see a new episode of music for kiddos I play it right away as I can use tips Stephanie shares that day or the next! Absolutely love this podcasts and I find myself humming her songs all the time.

Love the ideas, the songs and all content that help me feel inspired to be a better music therapist! Thank you for all your doing Music therapist in Utah

I am a kindergarten teacher and mama of 3 girls. I have been enjoying Stephanie’s “Move it, Move It” album for both my toddler and kindergarteners for a couple of years now. I am so thrilled to have this podcast as a resource too! The topics covered are engaging, well thought out, and inspiring. As I listen, I get excited to implement or learn more about what was shared on the podcast. I look forward to each episode and appreciate Stephanie’s generosity in sharing so many free resources.

This podcast is a must-listen for anyone interacting with kids on a regular basis! Stephanie presents ideas, songs, and concepts in such a clear, engaging, and helpful way. I’ve been craving intervention ideas from other providers to help me in my music therapy practice since I began working in 2017, and this podcast does that and so much more! This podcast is teaching me more about music and kids, and is sparking my creativity!!
