Welcome to Music Tree online school.

My name is Tiziana and I've designed this course to help you create a rich and fun music environment in your home!

Our connection with music starts before we're born and continues throughout our entire lives. Children learn music by listening, moving, improvising and dancing.

This course is designed with this in mind and with the help of you, the parent/carer, we can together create a special musical experience for your child.

• THE VIDEOS: you can choose between the long and the short videos. I have created two different options so your child's experience with music can be varied. Sometimes children prefer to repeat the same video many times (in that case the short videos are perfect); other times they lose themselves in the music and the long video is better.

• THE AUDIOS: listen to the audio of our songs without switching on the video. I have created a playlist on Soundcloud that you can play in the car, when your child is drawing or playing with in the house or to help them relax before sleeping.

1) Read the Suggestions written above the videos. They will help you to enjoy the songs and the activities with your child.

2) Use your biggest screen available to make this experience as immersive as possible.

3) Try to create a space around the screen for your child to move and dance. Add some cushions and move your breakables to a safe distance :)

4) Get creative with what you have in the house to accompany the videos. In this lesson, for example, I will sing a song playing a fork and spoon. You could also use coloured scarves, hats and any instruments you might have in your house; you can easily make a shaker with a container and some rice. Just make sure the lid in on tight! :)

5) Get involved yourself! If you sing and dance with your child the experience will be much more engaging for them and you might even enjoy it yourself!

You can find me for any doubt on Instagram or Facebook: write to me there if you need any suggestions or if you simply want to share with me your experience with this course.

Thanks and enjoy our songs and videos!
