Music in Parent-Infant Relationships – a blog from Georgina

 

Hi, I’m Georgina and I’m one of the Note Weavers directors. I’m a music therapist and an early years music practitioner. I’ve worked for a long time in SEN/D settings, but just recently I’ve completed an MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Well-being at Edge Hill University. I’d enrolled on the course because I’d started working on a well-being project with young people, and I wanted to update my knowledge. This blog is about my musings over how music connects with parent-infant relationships and parent and infant mental health and well-being.

I’ve always had an interest in parent-infant relationships and how musical activity can support families in the first few years.

Exploring Music & the Parent-Infant Relationship

Tuesday 1st November 2022

7-9pm (online), £15

Led by Georgina Roberts this CPD session will explore whether music can effectively support the parent-infant relationship.

As part of her MSc in Child and Adolescent Mental Health and Well-being, Georgina gathered a cross-section of service provider reflections on the effectiveness of music to support parent-infant relationships.

During the session Georgina will unpack her findings and promote discussion around three themes:

  • what does ‘music’ mean in the context of parent-infant relationships
  • reflections on terminology associated with parent-infant relationships
  • considering the musical and non-musical approaches to support the parent-infant relationship.

This session is suitable for music practitioners, early years practitioners and parent-infant mental health practitioners
