About the ‘Your Stage’ Product Range
Your Stage is a fabulous book about inclusion written by Mary Brake with especially composed lyrics and music written and recorded by Susie and Phil. ‘Your Stage’ is for all educators working with young children, but particularly those teachers who work with neuro diverse groups and individuals. The songs provide the framework for activities, thereby facilitating repetition and predictability for students. The music is engaging for students through its funky and creative energy.
Special moments are created for each individual as the understanding is fostered that each of us is worthwhile, each of us is successful, yet each of us is one part of a larger group. Success in that group setting is ensured, as are ‘safe’ opportunities for self-expression and enjoyment!
‘Your Stage’ helps build self-esteem, social skills, sharing, waiting, leading, copying, self-expression, idea initiation, and relaxation through music. It is a reminder that the stage is open to all providing inclusive opportunities for each individual to shine in their ‘special moment’.
