Nurturing a creative future – shifting childhood and education
shifting the way childhood is valued and celebrated, how kids are educated – the very purpose of education – is very much our focus. we teach kids from 5-8yo how to be curious, confident and creative. we engage, support and extend kids to do, to be, what robots can’t. that very special window of neurological opportunity which exists in kids before the age of 8, when combined with the enormous possibilities which learning a musical instrument offers, is rich with potential. by the age of 5, when most kids begin primary school, too many kids have lost confidence in their innate selves. mistakes are fearsome things to avoid, anxiety and stress abound. we help kids remember how to be that joyous, spontaneous, confident, creative human who says yes to opportunity, to the impulse to growth. why start at 5? this is when a child’s motor skills and strength allows them to properly manage the strings of a ukulele. why ukulele? it offers the least barriers to learning an instrument. why music? it is the only thing which engages all parts of the brain. i want some of what they’re having! we are happy to work with adults to re-engage their inner child too.
