Pick&Play Musicality is designed for children from 1 year of age and for parents who want to share music in a calm, joyful, and intentional way.

• Each Pick&Play activity includes 3 options
  
• Each option is one complete activity
  
• Use one option at a time
  
• The other options are for another moment
  

You don’t need much preparation.

Once you know the flow, everything feels natural.

The Pick&Play flow (always the same)

You are the guide.

Your child learns through looking, listening, and discovering.

Every Pick&Play activity — in each option — follows the same structure:

• Watch & Learn – short video guide for parents
  
• Follow & Play
  
  
  Prep – what to prepare
  
  Input – show and present
  
  Output – your child responds
  
  
  

Watch & Learn (for parents)

• Short video guide in each option
  
• For parents only — children do not need to watch
  

You learn:

• what the activity is about
  
• how it flows
  
• what matters (and what doesn’t)
  

Watch once or return anytime.

Follow & Play

Prep

• what to print
  
• which cards to use
  
• what to have ready
  

Each option shows this clearly.

Input — the key moment

• present new sounds, images, or patterns
  
• your child does not respond
  
• they simply absorb
  

Cards

• show one card for about 1 second
  
• keep the pace quick and smooth
  

Audio

• use one audio set only
  
• one set = one activity
  
• different sets are used on different days
  

Output — your child’s moment

Your child may:

• point
  
• choose
  
• name
  
• match
  
• respond in their own way
  
• no correcting
  
• no pressure
  

Confidence grows through trying.

Repetition rules

• repeat each activity 6–15 times over a few days
  
• if repeating the same option, take a 5-minute break
  
• always stop before your child wants to stop
  

Ending early keeps joy alive.

Role switch (optional)

From time to time, we recommend switching roles.

Children love it — and they learn deeply by teaching.

Using the materials

You will use:

• printed cards (essential)
  
• audio and video support
  
• the Prep · Input · Output flow
  
• no rush
  
• no test
  

Your presence is enough.

Printing and preparing the cards

• printing the cards is required
  
• print single-sided
  

After printing:

• place two related cards together (front and back)
  
• insert them into one clear office sleeve
  
• add a piece of thick paper or cardstock inside the sleeve for support
  

This makes the cards:

• stiff
  
• easy to hold
  
• comfortable to use on the floor or with small hands
  

Laminating is optional.

One important note

You may hear words like “step” in the videos.

They come from the full Musicality Course.

Pick&Play is lighter and simpler.

You don’t need to track steps.

Just follow:

• Prep · Input · Output
  

About sound and volume

For the best experience:

• play the audio through a speaker
  
• do not use the phone speaker
  
• sound should surround the child, not come from one small point
  

Keep the volume gentle and comfortable.

Recommended volume for young children:

• 50–60 dB – ideal (quiet room, soft conversation level)
  
• up to 65 dB – acceptable for short moments
  

Avoid:

• loud or sharp sound
  
• placing the speaker very close to the child
  
• turning the volume up to “feel the music”
  

If you can talk normally over the music, the volume is right.

Music should embrace the child, not overwhelm their ears.

One more thing

Pick&Play Musicality is a light, flexible selection from the full Musicality Course.

Designed for:

• short moments
  
• shared attention
  
• real connection
  

You don’t need to do everything.

One small moment already does a lot.

Enjoy your time together,
