Music With Miss Jess

Join us in the Pinewood Backyard Thursdays at 10am for Music With Miss Jess, a Nashville-based, board-certified music therapist! About Music With Miss Jess: This inclusive, play-based music group welcomes children of all abilities alongside their caregivers. Led by Miss Jess, a board-certified music therapist with experience supporting children across a range of developmental profiles, sessions are thoughtfully designed with early childhood development in mind (approximately ages 2 - 5), while remaining flexible and grounded in a neurodiversity-affirming approach. Sessions include singing, movement, and hands-on instrument exploration in a welcoming, responsive environment. Children are invited to participate in ways that feel comfortable to them. This group is open to families with both typically developing children and children with disabilities or developmental differences, creating a shared space for connection, creativity, and music-making. Caregivers will also learn simple, adaptable ways to use music at home to support communication, engagement, and connection in everyday routines. Click here to learn more. Sensory Note: Sessions involve active instrument play and can include a wide range of sound levels, especially in larger groups. Families are encouraged to consider their child’s sensory preferences when attending the group.
