The Monomodal Music Learning® Approach
THREE PILLARS to Accelerate Development from birth in a home setting

Music from the Body
Movement, rhythm
and physical confidence
builds strong foundations.
Music from the Heart
Connection, expression
and emotional wellbeing
through music.
Music from the Mind
Listening and early
Audiation skills which accelerate language
Our brains and bodies need the right stimuli to develop properly
Neuroscience says music is the best workout
Music has been formally used as part of learning practices since the early 1900s — yet for most parents and professional carers, it's still too complex to understand, confusing, outdated, and disconnected from what we know babies and young children actually learn and develop.
Nursery rhymes at circle time are lovely, but they rarely draw on the real, research-backed methods developed by the masters of early childhood learning: Maria Montessori, Edwin Gordon, Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Zoltán Kodály and Carl Orff. We do.
Every day without music is a day of unused brain-building.
In the first years of life a child’s brain forms over a million new connections every second. The ones that are used are strengthened; the rest are pruned.
Music is the rare activity that recruits hearing, movement, memory and emotion at the same time, and it trains the two hemispheres to work together. That is why we call it a full brain and motor workout. The window never fully closes, but it is never wider than it is now.

Music's Impact From Birth to 5
The under-5 brain is in its most rapid growth phase. In fact, we make more neurological (mind) and vestibular (body) connections in the first 18 months of our lives than in our whole lives.
Language and vocabulary through song contours and rhyme.
Motor coordination via rhythm and movement.
Confidence and self-regulation from turn-taking and expression.
Early maths via pulse, metre, and sequence.
Parents and professional carers understand that this foundational work has the greatest impact from birth to age 5, well before children reach formal school.
So don't wait. Adopt music now.

Music In The Home
We simplify, not overwhelm
Music in the Moment breaks early years music into short, focused 15-minute sessions, anywhere, anytime, with no music room, instruments or lesson plan needed.
We bring you the masters, made simple
Our stepped, logical approach blends the best of Montessori, Edwin Gordon, Dalcroze, Kodály and Orff, translated into activities any parent or carer can lead confidently, no music background required.
We build on 20+ years of experience
A research-informed method designed for how a young child's brain, body and heart actually learn, proven at home, in the garden and outdoors.
"Maria Montessori knew that we make the biggest and most lasting impact from birth to age 5. That's our mission with Music".
— Maria
Every day without music is a day of unused brain-building
Music is an essential tool from birth to age 5 in a home setting
You Can Shape Your Child's Life With Music
Drawing on 60+ years of research (from Edwin Gordon’s Audiation to modern neuroimaging), we integrate Montessori's pedagogy, and Dalcroze, Kodály and Orff, musical methods, to help you shape their development with music.

Accelerated Brain Development
Music speeds up auditory and language processing, boosting reading and speech.
Cognitive & Literacy Growth
Rhythm and synchrony enhance maths, pattern recognition, and pre‑reading skills.
Motor Skills & Coordination
Clapping, drumming, and instrumental play build fine motor control and writing readiness.
Mental Wellbeing & Emotional Growth
Group singing supports confidence, emotional healing, and self‑expression.
Social Connection & Belonging
Singing together fosters empathy, teamwork, and inclusion — vital for neurodivergent children.
Supporting you at a critical time
Music should be a core tool in your day to day activities with babies all the way to 4 year olds. I can show you the transformative power of Music, making your day flow easier and the children happier.
Music through play is the best way for you to stimulate Audiation, physical expression, spatial awareness, cognitive development, and emotional connection — building strong foundations from the very first years.
Parents will love you for adopting music in your day to day care. Train with me and get full support in a community like minded carers.

What is happening in the brain
Music engages networks in both hemispheres. Faster, more flexible thinking and smoother coordination. Early musical training is linked to a stronger corpus callosum, the bridge between them.

Tracking pitch and rhythm trains the auditory system that also decodes speech.
Richer vocabulary, clearer speech, pre-reading readiness
Moving to a beat engages the vestibular and motor systems together: balance, timing, posture, body awareness.
Turn-taking, shared pulse and gentle singing build self-regulation and attachment.
Calmer transitions, easier days, happier child
You'll notice a child that blossoms
What if music could be the answer to improve outcomes later in school? — nurturing each child's individual development through music play is an undeniable advantage.

Our music remote sessions are designed for three key early-years stages in mixed groups:
Birth to 12 months
13 - 24 months
3 to 5 years
Sessions available Online and Remotely
Our Why
We see how current provision is confusing and outdated, so we exist to infuse early years with pioneering and research-informed music learning and teaching. Too many professional carers tell us they lack the knowledge to do this confidently.
So they don't.
We are here to change that.
Advancing EY outcomes with Music
Our Mission
To support nannies, childminders and professional carers in the modern way of music learning for under 5 year olds.
Designing more ways for yound carers to deliver the best music experiences even if they have never done music or consider themselves non musical.

Our Vision
That every professional carer feels empowered to deliver confident, early years music activities that support whole-child development from birth to 5 years, and beyond. We want to develop a community of independent educators who integrate music as an essential part of their learning tool kit.
