Hi! We're Kristi & Wren
Chirp & Roar was born from the belief that music belongs in every home, every classroom, and every community.
We’re here to make music playful, joyful, and fearless. No special skills required.
MEET
From Kristi:
I created this space for families like mine: the curious ones, the energetic ones, and the ones who don’t fit into neat little boxes.
Music isn’t just for the "talented few"… it is wired into every brain and every body. Today, I facilitate programs across the Maitland and Hunter region to help families feel, live, and share the simple joy of music and movement. My goal is to build playful, inclusive experiences where every little voice has the confidence to shine.
With over 25 years of experience working with children, it was my own three kids who truly inspired Chirp & Roar.
From Wren:
Expression is where joy lives and where the best learning is found!
With two decades of early childhood experience, I create spaces where children (and their grown-ups!) feel safe to explore. Alongside Kristi, I design the programs and resources that keep our work playful, purposeful and full of learning. Today, I facilitate sessions across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, bringing the Chirp & Roar philosophy to communities throughout the region.
I believe our smallest humans should grow up knowing they can fully be themselves… without masks or hesitation.
Why Music Matters…
You know how music
gives you goosebumps?
That’s because rhythm and sound are wired into our design. Moving, singing, and responding to a beat aren’t just skills we teach; they are visceral human experiences embedded in our nervous system.
At Chirp & Roar, we use this natural connection to support regulation, expression, and joy. Whether we are visiting an early childhood service or welcoming families to our community classes, our mission is the same: to create a space where everyone feels safe to participate and play. Music belongs to every brain and every body… we’re just here to help you find your rhythm.
