Can't wait for our first session with St Margaret Mary's School tomorrow! We have some excellent music & language PD for you!

We often think of music lessons as a "nice-to-have" extracurricular, but the science tells a different story. Dr. Nina Kraus’s research at Northwestern University reveals that music education is a biological powerhouse.

By training the brain to process pitch, timing, and timbre, music students develop a "neural code" that is sharper and more resilient. The benefits are massive:

Improved Literacy: The brain processes language and music using the same pathways.

Better Focus: Enhanced ability to hear a teacher's voice in a noisy classroom.

Lifelong Fitness: A brain that stays "tuned" and healthy well into adulthood.

Music doesn’t just teach a child how to play; it teaches them how to learn. 🎻✨

It's lovely to lead our Thursday class every week! Remember, our last lesson is Thursday March 26th 🙂
We will be giving our Ridgehaven space a rest after the 26th but we are still avaliable to visit your library, group, school, Kindy or Children's Centre! 😃We offer quality PD workshops too! https://LittleLovesMusic.as.me/
A BIG thank you to our amazing families - It's not goodbye but
au revoir 💖

A few spots left for tomorrow’s 10am class 😊

A short music program led to improved verbal scores in over 90% of children.
Not long, not intensive, just targeted and effective.

Every child should have access to learning experiences this powerful. 🎶
Share this post to help make that possible.

Just this… 😁

Families understand music learning differently when you connect it to real-life skills like emotional regulation, confidence, and handling big feelings.

The School Readiness Toolkit gives you ready to use wording and visuals that help you explain these skills clearly and confidently.
