Music Learning Tree
International training course
After many years of studying and researching music education, I’m proud to present to you Music Learning Tree. In this course you will find a wealth of new ideas, useful activities and insight which bring together my skills in early years music, body music and music therapy.
Built and designed for teachers working with students in a group setting, I will introduce you to several important reference theories that are at the core of my research.
We will study, sing and dance together, breaking down and analysing some of my own class examples, highlighting the main principles and activities I use, with the goal of developing your very own unique teaching style for your class setting.

MUSIC LEARNING TREE, THE INTERNATIONAL COURSE THAT WILL HELP YOU TO BUILD A UNIQUE APPROACH IN MUSIC EDUCATION
If you already are here you probably think:
- music education should offer a richer and more varied content;
- following the students’ needs should be the primary focus of teaching;
- learning music is fundamental to a child’s development;
- creativity and improvisation should form a larger part of a music teacher’s curriculum;
- it’s important to keep learning no matter how experienced you are.
This course is designed to support us teachers as much as our students. Teaching is hard work but it should be fun and fulfilling! The secret lies in following the learning path of each child, without forgetting the beauty and playfulness of music.
Ready to start your new journey?
When I first started music education, I felt frustrated by much of the curriculum I came across, and I always found myself searching for answers on how to properly help my students develop their musicality. At times, I felt inexperienced, lost and full of doubts but I had this big desire to seek change.
Sometimes what we need is a leap of faith, that lightbulb moment that sees us start a new chapter in which we work on ourselves and on the job we love.
The learning sequence
In this course, I’ll cover the step by step learning sequence I use and show you how to adapt and apply this to your students, no matter what their instrument, ability or needs may be. We’ll work on how to identify the correct learning sequence in order to provide an exciting musical journey filled with new discoveries through listening, sharing and playing.
Do you agree?
Knowing the theory behind the learning sequence is as important as the practical part of the lessons;
having a number of strategies that you can use for your group makes teaching a lot easier and more fun;
planning ahead is as important as being flexible and observing to create a program that suits your children’s needs.
DISCOVER MUSIC LEARNING TREE
Your journey will take place over six months and you will have access to all the material at any time for 12 months so we will have plenty of time to get to know each other, understand your specific needs and discover what you want to get out of the course. This time allows us to delve deep into the discussion of music education without rushing through areas and focus on integrating new concepts into your teaching approach.
From the moment you will sign up to the course, you will be part of MUSIC TREE – LEARNING COMMUNITY, a group where you will be able to meet me for the Q&As related to the lessons. In the community you will also get to know many other teachers that have studied with me previously and that are coming from many different parts of the world. The access to the community will continue for as long as you will decide, so you will have the possibility to participate to as many mentoring and supervision group sessions as you want.
The course takes place online and I’ll be there to guide you through it.
We can start the journey together whenever you are ready for it, and as you study, you can apply everything you learn with your students, sharing your experiences with me and the rest of the group of teachers.
