24.01.2022 Did you catch last week’s Musical Moment ? We used glasses or jars filled with varying levels of water and a spoon to explore important contrasts in music, such as "play and stop", "soft and loud" and "slow and fast". It was a real hoot! ... If you missed it, don’t fret, you can catch it here: https://youtu.be/UaCHHDZwrGA .

23.01.2022 I was super excited to introduce my new online-music bestie, Rainbow Fluff , to the big, wide world in last week’s Musical Moment . Rainbow Fluff helped me out by singing the echo part in I Hear Thunder - a perfect song for the current weather conditions ! If you missed it, don’t fret, you can catch it here!!! https://youtu.be/vKuSoWso6og

22.01.2022 Searching for some good news ... The winter sun has been shining gloriously this weekend ... The daffodils and jonquils are out, which means Spring is just around the corner! ... We can all still make music, listen to music and dance like nobody is watching in our own homes !!!! Missing you all! Fingers crossed for Term 4 (although I’m not holding my breath) !!! Take care and stay safe!

20.01.2022 We had so much fun on the farm last week, Girls and Boys, that we’re backing it up with another Farm theme. Did you enjoy meeting Scarecow Jill, the most magnificent scarecrow-of-my-dreams? She’s a real asset in my orchard, scaring away the birds! #music #musicforkids #kidsmusic #musicclassesforchildren #musicclass #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #musicfortoddlers #babymusic #onlinelearning #virtuallearning #remotelearning #remoteclass #stayathome #onlineclassforkids #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #learningthroughplay #playathome #quarantinelife #preschoolactivities #playgroup

19.01.2022 Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day! How cute were these two little poppets eight years ago? It’s such a hassle to do ANYTHING when it’s raining and wet outside, hey? ... As hard as it may seem at times - locked down, foul weather - I encourage you to pop on your gumboots, a beanie and a coat and head outside with your little people ... Kids just love jumping in puddles and messing around in the mud! Brace yourself, sing a happy rain song - like It’s Raining, It’s Pouring , I Hear Thunder or Incy Wincy Spider ... Follow up with a nice warm bath and then hot chocolates all-round (or mulled wine for grown-ups )!!!

18.01.2022 Over the past fortnight we have been "on the farm" for our online music lessons. The children enjoyed singing "Hey Diddle Diddle" and doing their follow-up colouring activity last week. They also danced around with scarves, like wild horses, and clapped yoghurt pots together to sound like horse hooves! This week it's all about the weather - let's not forget tomorrow is the first day of winter ... Brrr!!! #music #musicforkids #kidsmusic #musicclassesforchildren #musicclass #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #musicfortoddlers #babymusic #onlinelearning #virtuallearning #remotelearning #remoteclass #stayathome #onlineclassforkids #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #learningthroughplay #playathome #quarantinelife #preschoolactivities #playgroup

18.01.2022 It’s a FARM theme in our online music classes ... Did you catch my rendition of Old McDonald’s Aussie Farm over on YouTube earlier this week? My boys think the possum’s hiss is hilarious and Clancy (the kelpie) didn’t really want to be involved ... Click through to see this and fourteen other Musical Moment videos if you need some inspiration in isolation! My mission is to bring the joy of music back to the early years. Please help me spread the love by sharing them with your friends who have little people. https://youtu.be/AMG-7J_nTHM

18.01.2022 Having an egg-cellent day on the farm ... The sun is shining , the hens are laying and I’m spending some time planning what Branch Into Music will look like in 2021 ... Hopefully I’ll be able to make some proper plans when our COVID-Normal restrictions are outlined this coming weekend! ... I’ll keep you posted!

17.01.2022 This crazy, little old woman was spotted cooking and chasing gingerbread men at our place late last week ... Could this isolation be finally driving me mad or was she just a character from the Singing Activity in this week's online music lesson?

17.01.2022 What a year 2020 has been thus far! If somebody had told me six months ago that my program would be running completely online in the future, I would have scoffed! Branch Into Music has had to really, truly "branch out" and it has been a super-steep learning curve! We have two online programs running concurrently this term - one for families who are continuing their online music tuition from last term and a fresh group of families who are just starting their journey. Thank you so much to everybody who has supported me on this rocky, techy, musical road! May you and your loved ones stay safe and keep singing (remotely, of course)!

15.01.2022 It's hard to believe that "Remote Learning" has finally come to an end (for now, at least)! My boys have done an incredible job - they've blown me away with their independence and ability to focus. Whilst I'm pleased they'll be back at school this week, reconnecting with their friends, teachers and regular routines, there will certainly be parts of "home school" that I'll miss - catching up for recess and lunch for a chat, sending them off "down the creek" or for a bike ride at lunchtime, and the general "slow down" we've experienced across the board. Despite the challenges, I think we'll fondly remember our time in "iso"!

15.01.2022 Happy Christmas in July everyone! Branch Into Music is excited to be giving away a FREE online music lesson!

The plan is to recharge the batteries and (hopefully) get away in the van for a few days. Thanks to all of my wonderful families for your support this term as I rapidly pivoted my business online - it is a blessing to have such a generous community! #music #musicforkids #kidsmusic #musicclassesforchildren #musicclass #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #musicfortoddlers #babymusic #onlinelearning #virtuallearning #remotelearning #remoteclass #stayathome #onlineclassforkids #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #learningthroughplay #playathome #quarantinelife #preschoolactivities #playgroup

Whilst we’re disappointed not to be returning to face-to-face teaching in Term 3, Rainbow Fluff and I are excited to bring you another eight week online program starting late July! More details to follow ...

08.01.2022 Feeling on top of the ... ... um ... slide ... this morning, as the final module of my online professional development program is released to the world! There will be champagne tonight!!! Happy weekend, Friends!

07.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to all of the gorgeous dads out there, especially those of you who can’t see your loved ones today . I am missing not seeing this beautiful man, that’s for sure! The 100 kilometres that seperate us feel like a million miles in lockdown! Thank you, Dad, for your wisdom and sense of humour, for being a wonderful role model for my brothers and I and now our children, and for being my number one fan - coming to every concert and performance and more recently, watching every one of my music videos ! I love you so much.

06.01.2022 Branch Into Music was born in 2008, as I rocked my newborn son to sleep and sang to him when he wouldn’t settle ... As a music and psychology teacher by trade, I used music to soothe him, to get us through those long days at home, to establish new routines and help him reach developmental milestones. Other mums used to ask me how they could use music with their own children ... and the rest is history! ... It has always been my mission to bring joy of music back to the early years. Why? Because making music makes us happy and happy children thrive! Over the last 12 years I have helped give hundreds of mums (and dads and grandparents and carers and early years educators) the confidence and tools they need to give their children a musical childhood. I’m so pleased you’ve found me here at Branch Into Music. I hope I can help you bring the joy of music into a little person’s life! #music #musicforkids #kidsmusic #musicclassesforchildren #musicclass #earlychildhoodeducation #earlylearning #musicfortoddlers #babymusic #onlinelearning #virtuallearning #remotelearning #remoteclass #stayathome #onlineclassforkids #babiesofinstagram #toddlersofinstagram #learningthroughplay #playathome #quarantinelife #preschoolactivities #playgroup

05.01.2022 It's the last week of Term 2 ... This is usually our "Favourites" week, where we all request our favourite songs and bring our favourite things along to show and tell. Whilst the lock-down and social isolation was challenging for most of us, do you have any "favourite" parts? I actually enjoyed getting to know my boys a bit better - chatting over recess and lunch about what they were learning and current affairs. I also enjoyed thoroughly enjoyed my new coffee machine and h...aving a coffee with my hubby, Steve, in the middle of the day when he was working from home! This is a picture of me in the studio with my "favourite" helper, Clancy. I'd love to hear if you had any special, "favourite" moments in Term 2, despite its challenges ...

04.01.2022 Well, Friends, that’s it from me for a couple of weeks! I’m going to take a little break from socials for the school holidays. It’s been a big term, that’s for sure, with the boys homeschooling for the last seven weeks and working hard on the online music programs ... We feel blessed to be in Regional Victoria and are looking forward to a few days camping, some time in the garden and around the farm. ... I’m already looking forward to Term 4 and will be in touch closer to the time regarding all Branch Into Music’s online offerings for families and educators. Wishing you all a happy Spring Break!

04.01.2022 To all of the beautiful Music Mums and the equally divine Music Nanas and Grannies - Happy Mother's Day! Despite it being a quiet one, I hope you've all been spoilt with love and kind thoughts. I really miss you - interacting with a computer and a camera day-in and day-out is just not the same as seeing your lovely, smiling faces. Much love, Ladies! Looking forward to seeing you all soon. xxx

03.01.2022 I’ve had the most glorious weekend, catching up with these two beautiful people - my Mum and Dad! It’s been over five months since we’ve seen each other, due to the Victorian metro-regional border restrictions ... If this crazy COVID year has taught me anything, it’s just how important our families are!!!
