Believe it or not-I’ve been making music with little people and their families for 18 years now!! I’m an Early Years music specialist and before that, wayyyyyy back as a Hospital Play specialist.
I love making music with children because it isn’t just about music education it is far more. It’s developing a relationship, a friendship with the children, it’s creating a place where children can feel comfortable expressing themselves and know they are heard whether they are verbal or non verbal. It’s witnessing the incredible growth and confidence that these little humans gain from being together and sharing a space and developing friendships together, I could go on-I’m pretty passionate about it.
Even after 18 years, each session is so different because every person I meet is different.
I had always dreamed of having a place where I could run my music groups, rather than traveling daily to different places throughout the County.
Back then I had no idea I would meet Rachel at one of my groups and make friends and then together we dreamed up The Treehouse! It was far beyond my dreams at the time and it’s now incredible and a remarkable place-always go large with your dreams!!
I now run three music groups from our beautiful yurt in the wild garden in the grounds of our beloved Treehouse. (Mixed ages Tuesdays at 9.30, Fridays at 9.30 and Songbirds for babies and their families 10.30 on Fridays)
This photo is of me back in the day with a gorgeous group of little people who I believe are at high school! I’m sure I’ll look back to today and say ahhh back in the day!
Today, as hopefully you know is Tuesday and we have
9.30 Fledgeling music in the yurt (free no need to book)
No Soundbath today
11.00 Hatched & Latched: Rachel Forsyth - Breastfeeding Counsellor.
12.30 Rummikub
2.10 Chair yoga in the yurt with Emma-(pre booked)
As ever, our community fridge is re filled daily by our wonderful volunteers, and our cafe is run by ourselves and volunteers serving great coffee, brunches and lunches, cakes and bakes. The groups we run ourselves are free so that everyone has equal access.
Take care and see you soon 💚
