Making Music in Early Education
Presented by: Dr. Red Ruby Scarlet and Louise Dorrat
AM Workshop: 10:30–11:45 AM PT
Music is the most important part of our entire existence! Biased? Definitely! (Scarlet, Dorrat, Thatcher, 2023).
This hands on workshop will explore creative and accessible ways to include music every day.
Louise will encourage educators to investigate raps and rhythms whilst using simple props and resources.
Red will invite educators to read, write and move through music in ways that are fun, meaningful and possible with children of all ages.

Dr. Red Ruby Scarlet & Louise Dorrat
Dr. Red Ruby Scarlet and Louise Dorrat have been working in early childhood for over 35 years. They also have qualifications in drama and dance. Together they combine their experience and expertise in early childhood curriculum, systems, social justice, and the creative and performing arts to create innovative, inclusive and ingenuous approaches to professional development.
Louise and Red first met via social media and they instantly could tell they were fellow dynamic dramaturgical thespians! Lou asked Red to sing and dance in the closing number at a conference almost 10 years ago, meeting for the first time at rehearsal. The rest is early childhood musical history!
