Gary & Carol Crees Music
ADVENTURES IN MUSIC

Picture
Gary & Carol’s desire to share the joys of music with children began with their own children. From music being a big part of family life came ‘theatre in education’ performances which led to Gary and Carol specializing in early childhood music, movement & wellbeing. Gary and Carol feel strongly that music, movement and the creative arts assist in promoting a richness and joy in life that adds to individual wellbeing and family and community health. 
​Their enthusiasm for early childhood education involves them in teacher training for early childhood professionals within Australia and internationally each year. An interest in health and wellbeing has meant that Yoga and alternative health has also been an ongoing interest and source of study for many years and is now reflected in workshops for adults as well as children in wellness and relaxation issues. Gary and Carol have taught extensively in Sydney and regional NSW & throughout Australia including Perth, Melbourne, Darwin, Hobart, Brisbane, as well as in Finland, Singapore, Macau, Vietnam and China.
