BLOG: NOTES OF LIFE

Body Music in silence. How a non-verbal approach can help to manage a group of children.

So, in a couple of seconds, I took the decision to continue without language, hoping that that idea would have work. Instead of trying to explain to them why they should have tried to calm down, I chose to use my most powerful “tool” to engage them: music!

WHY PARENTS ARE SO IMPORTANT DURING MUSIC CLASSES FOR BABIES AND TODDLERS?

They are their children’s reference so everything they do is an example for their children:

Sounding Out – music for deaf students, Royal Festival Hall

I had the best weekend with @pedroconsorte and the participants of the workshops organised by London Circle Music @musictreelondon. I've learnt so much from Pedro and the guys of Musica do Circulo in the last few years that yesterday at the end of the workshop I actually got really emotional 😂 I felt extremely happy to have been able to reconnect with the body music community here in London; overwhelmed by the sense of gratitude for Pedro and the participants of the workshop; and already nostalgic for the end of another cycle. • Yesterday (for the first time in Europe) Pedro also shared the strategies of Musica do Circulo's approach and it's been simply magic... I was like a little girl in front of the new toy ☺️ many confirmations about what I do in my work (which is always nice for the self-esteem 😅) and a lot of new ideas and inspirations. Now I start the winter with renewed strengths. The body music community in London is growing again 🙌 thank you everyone!! . . . #bodymusic #bodypercussion #percusioncorporal #musiceducation #musictherapy #humandevelopment #circ #circlesinging #bodymusicforchildren #bodypercussionforchildren #singingforthesoul #singingtogether #educazionemusicale #educacionmusical #vocalimprovisation #improtheatre #improvisation #improvvisazioneteatrale #teambuilding

SO, HERE WE ARE NOW! 🌟Highbury Park Music is now MUSIC TREE! Let's go back a little.... January - September 2018. Piano classes, music therapy sessions and early years music groups at Highbury Park Music + research with the deaf students and training courses in Italy. I work Monday to Sunday, I'm stressed and tired. My stomach doesn't want gluten and dairies anymore, my guts are really tense. I suffer from anxiety and constant tiredness... This is not what I dreamt about! This is not me! Or at least, not the one I think I am! Sam and I discuss a lot, we don't like our lifestyle, we don't spend enough time enjoying ourselves and the city... What's the point of moving to London if you can't go out and live the wonderful things happening here? Plus, I cannot work so much. Social medias are killing me, emails from morning 'till night... I need a change. I need a break. Basically from myself and my workaholic lifestyle. So I start seeing a phycotherapist and I go through a lot of s*** (the best thing I have done for myself, though) and in four months I feel already much, much better. Then I start a long path with the nutritionist and I finally have my energy back! Sam in the meantime starts his ukulele lesson with young children and he's just phenomenal, whilst he works hard to develop his recording studio. Music Tree is born in this way. Lots of work. Lots of love, passion and hope. We believe in the multiple powers of music and we want to share our experience with everyone who is interested in! Music Tree is a name that include many ideas and projects and little by little I will share them with you! . . . #dreamcatcher #dreamcomestrue #musicschool #musicstudios #homestudios #musiceducation #earlyyearsmusic #musicforbabies #teachertravels #musictherapylondon #musictherapy #newlifestyle #highburyislington #bodymusic #bodypercussion #musiclearningtheorygordon #umbrellaskyproject #musicacademy #iteachmusic #umbrellasky #teacherchallenge #newschool #newmusicschool #italiansinlondon #italianculture #italianwomen #travellingteacher

Second class of my fourth language. #britishsignlanguage A whole new world is opening to me, a whole new community of people I will be able to speak to soon. It's just amazing. Can't believe it took me so long! I will post a video after every class because the only way in which I can learn it is by speaking it, making mistakes (like here 😂) and trying again, just like it happened with Spanish and English before. #newchallenges #itsreallycool #musicmentor #musictherapy #researcher #musiceducation #trainingday #training #support #teachers #teachersofinstagram #musictherapy #humandevelopment #teachingmethods #teaching #musictherapylondon #britishsignlanguage #deafawareness #deafcommunity #bodymusic #bodypercussion #deaf #musiclovers #educazionemusicale #education #cpd #lifeofateacher #deafpeople #signlanguage #rhythmandflow #speechtherapy

COUNTDOWN - 3! 🌟Highbury Park Music will become... ????? 🌟 A couple of days ago I started sharing the history of Highbury Park Music, the music school in London that I co-founded with @samuelwest_music. Soon it will change its name and identity. Let's carry on with the second chapter. So, here I am in London with this crazy guy called @samuelwest_music. May 2017. He's just incredible: charming, smart, fun... yes, it's definitely love at first sight. Soon we understand that we want to live together and share our common passion for music, people and education. After few months he brings me to this amazing place in Highbury Barn, an incredibly beautiful Georgian townhouse at the end of a lovely street with shops and restaurants that reminds me a bit of Italy for its community life. I fall in love again. The house is really old though (1829) and it needs to be refurbished but we can already see a music studio there, where I can teach and Sam can write music. So we say yes! We go for it and we live in the house during the refurbishment process, with builders in and out of the house, no kitchen, no floor, no furniture, no bathrooms... Well, just the minimum to survive 🙈 But we feel we're re lucky and enjoy this new adventure (not without fights, eh!). After four months, many trips to Ikea and a really bad sprain in my ankle, I have my first piano class in the studio. After a couple of weeks also the babies arrive for their classes and I have to understand how to create a safe room for them that would also allow Sam to have his recording studio ... So I invest some money and I buy good mats to create protection for the children all around Sam's desk and the rest of the space. That's why there are always purple mats in my pictures! January - July 2018, 7 months and 20 students are coming regularly to the sessions. September 2018-July 2019 we are 60! Do you think it's been easy? Oh no! I a had lot of worries, lots of doubts, a lot of work! Prepare the classes, answer the emails, work on the website, teach... Ahhhh if only I had a secretary at that point! But here we are now, ready for the next step because the community around Highbury Park Music is growing! -3!

COUNTDOWN - 5! 🌟Highbury Park Music will become... ????? 🌟 When I arrived in London 4 years ago, I had to learn how to survive as a self-employed teacher in this huge city. Not an easy thing, trust me! I had to discover how to find the schools to work with; how to move quickly between my classes; how to carry all my instruments with me whilst travelling on buses and metro... and OH! I had to learn English in the meantime! . . . I have to say that cold and rain were certainly the hardest parts of the job in the UK at that point! Little by little I've learnt that umbrellas and coffee are the best friends of a London teacher 🤣🙈! After two years of back and forth in the city, I was so tired that I decided to go back to Italy and give up with all my dreams in the UK. I was spending most of my days alone - well, with the children or travelling to Italy to run my training courses - no friends to share any quality time with... . . . The only good thing at that point was the research Sounding Out with deaf students (my dream) so the desicion was really hard to take.... Until one day, when I met @samuelwest_music and... well, tomorrow I will tell you a little bit more about the history of our music school Highbury Park Music and why in 5 days it will actually change its identity! Stay tuned! . . . #dreamcatcher #dreamcomestrue #musicschool #musicstudios #homestudios #musiceducation #earlyyearsmusic #musicforbabies #teachertravels #musictherapylondon #musictherapy #newlifestyle #highburyislington #bodymusic #bodypercussion #musiclearningtheorygordon #umbrellaskyproject #musicacademy #iteachmusic #umbrellasky #teacherchallenge #newschool #newmusicschool #italiansinlondon #italianculture #italianwomen #travellingteacher

Music and attention

Playing music alters the prefrontal cortexes and therefore influences the capabilities to pay attention in other activities in life. Being able to attend to different auditory stimuli can be helpful for a multitude of people; students might better be able to focus in school, sports players might hear each other over the sounds of the stadium and ground crew at airports might be hear orders more accurately over the sound of airplane engines.
