In this column, I encourage early childhood professionals to clearly and intentionally communicate the importance of music in their programs to parents, administrators, and other stakeholders. I suggest three rationales for the inclusion of music in early childhood programs, give examples of music activities that illustrate each justification, and provide suggested reading and resources for those seeking to advocate for their programs. Whether we are teaching early childhood parent-child classes at a community music school, teaching preK classes within our elementary schools, or training preschool teachers on how to use music in the classroom, it is imperative that we know why music is essential in children’s lives and can communicate this clearly to those who ask.

This article describes an early intervention program designed for speech-language pathologists enrolled in a master's-level program. The program provided students with courses and clinical experiences that prepared them to work with birth to 5-year-old children and their families in a family-centered, interdisciplinary, and ecologically valid manner. The effectiveness of the program was documented by pre- and post-training measures and supported the feasibility of instituting an early childhood specialization within a traditional graduate program in speech-language pathology.
