Music

"Music stimulates areas of a child’s brain that other mental and physical activity will not, and it will make a lasting impression"
- Metzger

"Researchers also have found a significant relationship between music instruction and positive performances in such areas as: reading comprehension, spelling, mathematics, listening skills, primary mental abilities and motor skills"
- Borgese

"Music has the ability to communicate in a way that goes far beyond our imagination. It can transfer a musical language containing all kinds of emotional and educational messages, which can be understood unconsciously by all babies worldwide, regardless of race or ethnic background. By presenting your baby the right mix of styles, melody, harmony and rhythm, the brain is stimulated into creating more connections, providing your baby a head start in life in various ways"
- Raimond Lap
Mindfulness

✓ Can improve the mental, emotional, social and physical health, and the well being of young people

✓ Helps students to find the focus needed to achieve their academic goals

Our Story

My name is Emily McGregor, founder and creator of Generation Mind Body and Soul - a program targeted at children and teenagers, incorporating yoga, music mindfulness, meditation, nutrition, and self belief.

I've worked with children and teens for many years now. I'm a yoga teacher and have a degree in music specialising in the effects music can have on developing children.

My aim is to help guide this potential-rich generation to be the happiest, healthiest, and most successful people they can be, and to provide them with the skills to achieve that potential; skills they'll employ for the rest of their lives.

There has never been a more challenging, stressful or difficult time to be a young person and Generation Mind Body & Soul can help young people find strategies and coping techniques to deal with difficult situations in the best possible way.
