Fun music sessions designed for growth and development

The idea is that babies and young children are givien the opportunity to explore and learn in a safe space because they are with their parents/carers and generally feel more relaxed and inclined to join in.

For this reason it is very importamt too that the adults participate. If you want your child to learn the songs and do the actions...then you have to be enthusiastic too! We lead by example and it is VERY obvious in these types of activities!

In a fun and relaxed environment learning is accelerated and if music is added to the mix, then the power is increased considerably! Children not only learn the basic elements of music such as rhythm and beat but so many other things such as language acquisition, co-ordination, control of their bodies... not to mention all the other skills involved in group activities such as patience, team-work and all the other benefits that singing and and dancing as a group provide!
