To all the incredible mums I have the privilege of working alongside every week — Happy Mother’s Day 💛

The behind-the-scenes work you do for your children is extraordinary. The appointments, advocacy, emotional load, repetition, worry, patience, celebrating tiny wins, holding it together when things feel hard… it never goes unnoticed.

Last week, I found this note on my whiteboard from my daughter. One of those little moments I want to hold onto tightly, while time somehow feels like it’s slipping through my fingers.

Hope today includes at least one quiet coffee, a warm cuddle, or maybe even five uninterrupted minutes to yourself ☕️ 🫂

A couple of places are still available in my Monday Songbirds group, and I currently have one place available in my Thursday class as well.

I’d also be very happy to take expressions of interest for other weekdays, as I’d absolutely love to continue expanding the program further.

Please feel free to share with anyone who might have a child who would enjoy singing, creativity, connection, and a welcoming small-group environment 🎶

There was something really special about our singing group last night 💛🎨

What I love most about this space isn’t just the music — it’s the connections that grow between the children. It gives them a chance to build friendships outside of school, and you can really start to feel that sense of a team forming… encouraging each other, supporting each other, and genuinely wanting to be there together.

After class, no one wanted to leave. The group ended up out in the courtyard with chalk, creating a 300+ step hopscotch game (yes… 300 😅). It somehow turned into a mix of movement, imagination, and even maths equations along the way — completely child-led, completely joyful.

Moments like this feel pretty important.
Off screens, in the fresh air, creating, connecting, and just being kids.

This is what it’s all about ✨

Thank you to Los Robles Children's Choir for such a beautiful post 😍

I truly feel so lucky to do this work.

In my Songbirds groups, I see this every single week—when children are given the space to explore their voices, something shifts. They slow down. They listen. They become present. The joy that comes from that moment—when they’re fully in it, connected to the music and to each other—is something really special.

It’s a beautiful reminder that children don’t just need more input… they need opportunities to pause, tune in, and experience the moment. And music gives them exactly that.

I had so much fun at our holiday Songbirds workshop this week! 🎶✨

After a super inspiring session with Full Voice Music and the amazing Donna Rhodenizer the day before, I couldn’t wait to try out some new singing games with the kids… and they did not disappoint!

We explored new ways to play with our voices, built confidence and connection, had lots of laughs, and made some truly beautiful (and sometimes very silly!) sounds together. It’s always such a joy seeing the kids light up as they discover what their voices can do 💛

A big thank you to Nikki from Full Voice Music for your ongoing encouragement, and to Donna Rhodenizer's Music for the inspiration (and the permission to just have fun with it!). Kids learn through play and sometimes us adults just have to let our guard down and trust that process.

Feeling very inspired and excited to bring more of this into Term 2!

If you’ve been thinking about joining Songbirds, now is the perfect time 🎤🐦

End of last term, we explored words to describe our voices and decorated our own microphone pictures with these 💛

I absolutely loved hearing what the Songbirds came up with — such thoughtful, creative, and sometimes very honest descriptions! It’s so special seeing how children of this age connect their voices to their identity and growing sense of self.

They even made one for me… “empowering” and “strong” (Awww how lovely is that?! 🥹)

Term 2 is just around the corner, and I’d love to welcome some new Songbirds into the group. If your child enjoys singing, creating, or just finding their voice in a supportive space, feel free to reach out about a trial session ✨

I’m so excited to share that a unique performance opportunity is coming to Warragul for a select group of young singers aged 9–14...!!

This is the kind of experience that gives children a glimpse into high-level performance — working towards something meaningful, alongside others who share that same love of music and expression.

It’s not something we see often in our area, and I can’t wait to see local kids have access to it.

More details to come soon — feel free to reach out if you’d like to be first to hear 💛

What a fantastic day yesterday at the Baw Baw Shire Council “Family Friendly Expo 2026”! Thank you to everyone who came along to say hello — and to all the kids who created such beautiful microphones 🎤💫

I loved seeing the different ways children described their own voices, and how clearly this connects to their sense of identity.

It was also so energising chatting with families about their children who love to sing — especially the quieter ones who are often making up their own songs and stories about the world around them.

I’m really excited to keep building my little Songbirds project and to welcome more children to join in — developing confidence and musicality in a supportive, small-group setting 🎶

Please get in touch to chat about what might suit your child, my offerings over the school holidays and for our Term 2 sessions! 🎶🐦

A last minute turn of events leads to opportunity…!! I’ll be at the West Gippsland Arts Centre this Saturday (10–2pm) for the Baw Baw Family Friendly Expo!

If you have a child aged 6–12 who loves singing but feels a bit unsure in bigger groups, come and say hi — I’d love to chat and see if it might be a good fit 🎶
