In classes for 0-12m (Baby Music & Development), learn the neuroscience behind what you are doing and why when you’re singing with your child. Introduce your baby to the Hello song, meet Boo-Boo the puppet, warm up with finger rhymes, finish with musical instruments, bubbles, twirly lights, and fully interactive songs. Simple signing, full explanations as we go along.
In classes for 1-2s (Interactive Toddler Music), add more advanced signing to the mix; join in with the Hello Song, meet Boo-Boo the puppet, move with the interactive songs, play with the hands-on musical instruments (all cleaned before the class!), chase the bubbles and the twirly lights, finish by signing the Goodbye song. And – best of all – they don’t get trampled by older children!
In classes for 2-4s (Interactive Music & Storytelling), join for all of the above, plus dramatised myths and legends, folktales and traditional fairy tales sourced from all over the world.
Young children are rarely able to settle down to any one activity for a full half hour. Sessions change focus every two minutes or so, so that the children use different faculties on a rotation basis. The fixed structure of the classes encourages confidence through repetition.
