Even though we’re one of those after-school club providers ourselves, we’re not afraid to talk about this — because we believe AWARENESS is key.

We’d rather have fewer classes with engaged children than full ones where kids are too exhausted to focus or enjoy learning.

⇢ Fewer clubs — but ones that truly fit your child’s weekly rhythm.

⇢ No need for 2 or 3 clubs in a row on Saturday mornings — just because they are available.

⇢ One instrument played well is worth more than three played without joy or depth.

When children have time to rest, to be bored, and to reconnect, their capacity to learn and desire to grow naturally increase.

Supporting our children in their learning is a journey we walk every single day — with patience, understanding, and communication.

So often, we expect a “positive” response from our kids, or certain behaviors scare us so much that we don’t know how to handle them. Sometimes we end up waiting, hoping that things will magically fix themselves.

This is exactly one of the points Pedro will explore in his module of Beyond the Notes — the family course we will open in November.

But in the meantime, come meet Pedro! ✨
Join us this Thursday for a special Instagram Live, where he’ll share his experience as a musician, facilitator, and expert in Nonviolent Communication.

I fell into that trap too:
“Ah, this is perfect — my child is learning something while I finally have time to breathe and do my own things in peace.”

And honestly? I wish it worked that way. I wish there could be a safe moment in our day where leaving little ones in front of a screen wasn’t really a problem.

And to be clear: it’s not a problem if it’s short — 20 minutes, maybe half an hour depending on age… and not every day.

But research tells us the same story:
leaving children in front of a screen regularly does not help their brain grow, nor does it support healthy emotional development.

We don’t always notice it immediately.
The consequences show up later:

👩‍⚕️ Psychologists see it in 12–14 year olds struggling with anxiety and mood regulation.
🎶 Music teachers see it in lessons, when kids finally open up to us — sometimes as if we were the first adults they’ve really spoken to all week.
📚 University therapists see it too: young people finding it hard to connect face-to-face, because so much of their life has happened through a screen.

Especially here in the UK, children spend their days in big groups, with very little opportunity for real one-to-one connection with teachers. At home, parents do their best — but finding the time, the energy, the right way to connect isn’t always easy.

That’s why starting early matters.
That’s why we need to give children a passion for life — not just a passion for what lives inside an iPad.

I know these words aren’t easy to hear. They can feel uncomfortable. But more and more of us — educators, teachers, therapists — are saying them now. And I won’t stop.

✨ If you want to explore this topic in a safe, non-judgmental space, join me and a team of psychologists and musicians this November for Beyond the Notes.

It’s the first course for families where leading experts will connect the dots between your child’s psychological and emotional development, and what music can do to support them.

ADHD is not a monster - Free Masterclass

In this session, I share how I came to my own diagnosis—but more importantly, how you can use musical exercises to help children self-regulate and focus before their music lessons.

I explore the role of executive functions—the very skills children with ADHD often struggle with, but that even neurotypical kids can find challenging, especially after a long school day, too much screen time, or when they’re simply overwhelmed.

This is one of the most important lives I’ve ever done, and one I deeply care about. Why?

Because it raises awareness in a society that still thinks ADHD is “just about hyperactive boys,” when in reality it affects undiagnosed:

✨ adults,

✨ musicians and artists,

✨ educators,

✨ new mothers and women going through their hormonal changes

— people who every day face challenges in understanding or regulating parts of themselves.

This Masterclass it's for music teachers and educators, who want to learn how to start discovering how to support children (and adults) with ADHD—people with brains that work differently, but who also carry extraordinary intelligence and creative power.

In this live you’ll also find practical exercises to try with your own groups.

Let me know your thoughts!

Self-regulation and concentration music activities for kids with ADHD or poor executive functioning Here it is, as promised: the live “ADHD is not a monster.”In this session, I share how I came to my own diagnosis—but more importantly, how you can use music...

Life in London is fast. Stress, deadlines, commuting, the endless to-do lists.
Your children’s wellbeing matters — but so does yours.

Music can be your pause button.
🎶 Reduce stress
🎶 Ease anxiety
🎶 Improve focus and mood

Joining a class — whether singing, piano, guitar, or a group ensemble — isn’t just about learning.
It’s about meeting new people, sharing joy, and remembering that you are more than just “mum” or “dad”.

At Music Tree, we welcome parents and adults into the same journey we’ve created for children:

💫 A space to breathe, to connect, to feel alive through music.

So, what if this term… you also chose music for yourself?

👉 Explore our individual and group classes, designed for adults who want to learn, relax, and rediscover themselves through music.

You may have noticed… my communication has changed.

I don’t just talk about music lessons anymore.
(Well is, I never really did.)

Now my focus is even clearer:
✨ Music as a tool for child development
✨ Music for the wellbeing of teenagers and adults too

I’m so excited to share this with the Music Tree community, which is growing and evolving every day. 🌱

Parents are becoming more and more involved in their children’s growth…
and they see how powerful our lessons can be in their lives.

But it’s not enough.

Because our society is dysfunctional.
And children — teenagers especially — need real support.

Parents need support too. 💛
Parenting today is harder than ever.

After months of reflection and brainstorming…
I found the answer within myself.

🌟 And this is how Beyond the Notes was born.

A 4-module course for parents, dedicated to exploring and sharing experiences around children’s psychological and emotional wellbeing — through music.
