&lt;p&gt;When it comes to children, it all starts somewhere: EARLY CHILDHOOD!! And there’s only one place in the &lt;u&gt;Children’s Music Network&lt;/u&gt; where early childhood (ages 0-8) is the sole focus, and that’s the new &lt;strong&gt;Early Childhood Affinity Group&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Co-hosts Marty Long (of &lt;a href="https://www.preschoolrockstar.com" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.preschoolrockstar.com/&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1702159049145000&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw3qNEZONITcLDb4iJpZMda0"&gt;Preschool Rockstar&lt;/a&gt;) and Paul Oliphant (of &lt;a href="http://www.mrelephant.fun" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mrelephant.fun/&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1702159049145000&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw3pJq7tltXZ4UoG4jRQP7Dh"&gt;Mr. Elephant&lt;/a&gt;) are excited to bring you a virtual space to share ideas and songs and revel in each other’s successes, all while being in a safe space free of judgment and bad vibes. Monthly themes make for fun and pertinent song swaps each month, and other topics such as music and video production, animation, puppets, props, etc. are often discussed among the members. It’s a fun and vivacious place to share your songs and hear others play great music geared towards our world’s young ones.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When it comes to children, it all starts somewhere: EARLY CHILDHOOD!! And there’s only one place in the &lt;u&gt;Children’s Music Network&lt;/u&gt; where early childhood (ages 0-8) is the sole focus, and that’s the new &lt;strong&gt;Early Childhood Affinity Group&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Co-hosts Marty Long (of &lt;a href="https://www.preschoolrockstar.com" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.preschoolrockstar.com/&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1702159049145000&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw3qNEZONITcLDb4iJpZMda0"&gt;Preschool Rockstar&lt;/a&gt;) and Paul Oliphant (of &lt;a href="http://www.mrelephant.fun" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.mrelephant.fun/&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1702159049145000&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw3pJq7tltXZ4UoG4jRQP7Dh"&gt;Mr. Elephant&lt;/a&gt;) are excited to bring you a virtual space to share ideas and songs and revel in each other’s successes, all while being in a safe space free of judgment and bad vibes.
