Hello!
I'm Kristy Russell, Musical Mindset mentor, founder and CEO of Moovers n Shakers Music.
I'm also an Early Childhood Specialist, music educator, speaker, mum of 2, wife and passionate Aussie entrepreneur! I am on a mission to spread the magic and power of Music and Mindfulness to as many people as possible!
Every day I tap into the power of a "Musical Mindset". And every day I notice how much more focussed, resilient and connected I am, at work and at home. You could even say I am more 'in tune' with myself and the world around me (pun intended!) I want that for you too!
Unmotivated. Overwhelmed. Burnt-out.
I've been there myself, and I acknowledge that when grown-ups are stressed, so are the students and children in their care!
When I started Moovers n Shakers Music 6 years ago, it was more of a side-hustle and a way to "roll all my skill-sets into one", have fun and get paid at the same time.
Furthering my studies and skills in education support, literacy intervention and neuromusical research at the same time - and noticing how musical learning and mindfulness practices have brought so much joy, connection and enhanced cognition in other peoples lives - as well as my own - has really humbled me, and made me stop and reflect on my purpose in life. My contribution to society. Who am I NOT to share my skills and knowledge with others?
It's time for me to pass the baton to other educators, teachers and parents like you, so that together we can spread the Power of Music and Mindfulness!
I'm taking action for a greater cause. Are you ready to join me?
Proudly sharing the Magic and Power of Music
Let me tell you more about my mission and how YOU can be a part of it!
Research shows us the positive benefits of Music on all areas of health and wellbeing across the lifespan are UNDENIABLE.
But what does this actually mean in practice for the general population?
Of course there is great value in investing time, money and energy into learning music formally (voice and instrument). And it's certainly 'easier' if you have access, funds and support to grow musical skills at home or at school - as learning an instrument well requires years of dedication and effort. (Take my word for it, I've been training as a classical pianist from the age of 5 and I'm still enjoying honing my skills 40 years on!)
It's becoming more and more clear from Neuromusical research that we are all born with innate musicality and are hard-wired to respond to Musical Sounds.
This means we all have innate musicality, some of us just need a little creative guidance to access it: to "Embrace their Musical bone!"
This is where Moovers n Shakers Music is making a difference in people's lives.
Through a combination of theory and practice, Moovers n Shakers Music offers training in musical knowledge and skills that can be integrated straight away. And the Mindset part? Well, that's another area of research that highlights how the way we think, and the lens through which we view life impacts our resilience, wellbeing and success in life. Join Mindfulness practices with Musical learning and you have an opportunity to Supercharge not only your own personal and professional life, but the lives of the children and students you work with.
Love Music. Love Learning. Love Life!
