Rhapsodaisy Educator Training

A joyful way to teach music

The Rhapodaisy Program offers early childhood educators a dynamic and engaging way to teach vital developmental skills through music, movement, and play. With a collection of 10–17 versatile songs and games, you’ll discover how each activity supports musical learning while developing social, emotional, cognitive, physical, and communication skills. These songs are more than fun—they’re powerful tools for teaching rhythm, pitch, language, numeracy and cultural awareness.

Practical Tools for Real Classrooms

This hands-on program not only gives you ready-to-use resources, but also shows you how to adapt them to suit your classroom’s unique needs. Learn how to structure lessons that captivate young learners, manage behaviour creatively, and build inclusion into every activity. With ideas for props, extensions, and child-led learning, the Rhapodaisy Program equips you to make every session meaningful, memorable, and developmentally rich.

Music brings children safety, fun, love and belonging - vital tools that will assist them for their whole life.

I simply cannot imagine a childhood without music – it soothed me, challenged me and filled my soul.

I wholeheartedly support Annie and Wendy and their wonderful Rhapsodaisy book.
