Who is This Membership For?
You may be

a music /dance /drama teacher,
a librarian,
a singer, magian, circus or other performer,
a therapist — speech /occupational /family,
a parent /carer /grandparent,
an early childhood or music student.
Maybe, you're none of the above! All you need is an interest in the well-being of young children, curiosity about the power of music, and a love of community-music-making.
You don't need to be able to read music to do music (ask Sir Paul McCartney!)
You do need to clarify where you are heading, save yourself from making mistakes, minimise the learning curve, stay up to date, feel like you belong to a community, and gain validation and reassurance.

Achieve Your Goal
"If your goal is to become an early childhood music specialist,
then you have every chance of success because having this goal affects your identity.
Your focus is ‘I want to be’, not ‘I want to do’.
But a goal needs actions. The way you become a specialist is by doing certain things
effectively. However, the emphasis is different for each person.
You might be really great at teaching people to play your instrument but you don’t know how to
handle little kids. You need to learn what engages young children.
On the other hand, maybe you’re great at getting children engaged and staying fascinated
but you’re no expert at reading music or playing the piano (or any instrument!).
You need to learn how others like you provide excellent musical experiences without being a 'career musician'.
It doesn't matter which of the jigsaw pieces you are starting from, if you want to contribute
— to make children's lives happier and more joyful through music and movement —
you might just need some support for a while. You decide for how long.
I invite you to join this "Hub" and get yourself centred, informed, resourced, and connected.
Rather than tell you what to do, I want you to have the chance to become
well-informed about what’s going on in the world of early childhood music and movement.
Across the world, there are thousands of practitioners, researchers, YouTubers, therapists, performers,
business owners, music teacher associations, childcare centres, schools,
dance and drama academies, clubs and cultural communities —
each one has a different angle. Most of them are doing great work!
That’s why I’ve chosen eleven ‘topics’ to steer you down your career path,
eleven jigsaw pieces for you to pick up and fit together in your unique way.
My goal is that I am a lighthouse for you, so that you stay informed and hopeful as you deepen your commitment
to this fundamental statement of identity:
"I am an early childhood music specialist.”
Along the way you will discover resources and materials, learn new knowledge, connect with others, see what others are doing,
investigate learning in music, gain new skills, practice your programming, feel validated for your achievements,
find out what pathways to qualifications lie ahead, and improve your own work with the children.
Join this community and convince yourself that you do belong as an important contributor in the
wide, wonderful world of early childhood music — in your own special niche."

Early Childhood Music Hub Affirmations
Here are the five key 'I am' statements that will boost your confidence and promote your reputation as you put your jigsaw pieces together.
I am a specialist in early childhood music and movement, and I believe that music is an essential element of both my identity and my children’s identity.
I am strongly connected with other music and movement practitioners, and because of that sense of belonging, I am a confident contributor to the sharing of best practices through my knowledge, skills, and beliefs.
I am positive, sustaining my physical, social and emotional well-being through my personal practice of music and movement, and I encourage my children and families to engage musically for their well-being.
I am an effective life-long learner in, through and about music and movement, with a strong focus on becoming informed and sharing research about its benefits for children and their families.
I am musically communicative, and I aim to inspire the children, families and early childhood professionals I work with to become confident in communicative musicality.
