Music & Mindset Matters
How Music invites connection and belonging
EPISODE 20: How Music invites Connection and Belonging
In this week’s episode, I talk about how shared musical experiences bring people together to connect and create a sense of belonging. My family and I are only just coming down from a massive high after an amazing two weeks jam-packed with musical fun and magic. Highlights include:
*Sing-alongs around the campfire during our annual family camping trip
*attending the Deloraine Celtic Music Weekend as students and session players
*debut performance as a duo with my gorgeous talented husband
*hosting one of the tutors from said Celtic Weekend for an ‘acoustic on the deck’ performance at our family farm (sneak peek - I'll also be airing a podcast interview with him in the next few weeks!)
So many connections made, learnings and “muse-phoric” moments 🎶💫 So many moments of validation for MUSIC as a SUPERPOWER for health and wellbeing. This has in turn given me so much more food for thought and ideas for content to create and share with you all to help your understanding of why Music is so important to use in everyday life. If you're an Early Childhood educator, teacher or carer of young children and Music & Wellbeing is on your focus list this year, why not come and join me for an online workshop, “ROUTINES to RITUALS: Using Music & mindfulness to create calm, connected transitions".
I ran this workshop late last year with some really positive feedback so I'm offering it again on Thursday February 22nd at 10-11.30am. Although it's aimed at those working in the ECEC sector, there are many helpful elements for parents and carers, as well as Lower Primary teachers.
It’s not about creating an entirely separate program for Music and Mindfulness, rather the focus is on learning how to habit-stack music and mindfulness onto key elements of your daily routines. You’ll also get the chance to collaborate with other educators and carers, and ask me any questions directly!
