Babies
This is the first stream of the Music with Me programme and is the ideal first musical experience.
In our baby sessions we introduce your baby to music by helping them to feel the rhythm. We sing a mixture of lullabies, popular nursery rhymes and songs written especially for Music with Me and encourage development through play by bouncing, clapping, pointing to baby’s ears, nose, mouth etc.
We start with a ‘hello song’ that is the same each week so your baby will quickly get to recognise what is coming next. We then progress into ‘action songs’, ‘bouncing songs’ and ‘percussion time’ in which baby can use things like tiny drums and shakers. We use bubbles, lights, a parachute and teddies to stimulate your baby visually, do ‘dance’ and ‘lullaby’ songs and have ‘listening music’ and a ‘goodbye song’ that again is the same each week so your baby will recognise that we have finished.
Each of the different sections helps your baby develop in different ways through music and song.
Sessions are weekly during term time, last 30 minutes and held in small groups of no more than 12, enabling babies and mums to get to know each other and make new friends. The small groups also help to create an informal and welcoming atmosphere, enabling individual attention and making it suitable for even very young babies.
Toddlers
Toddlers is the 2nd stream in the Music with Me programme, created for 1-3 year olds, this stage is much more involved than Jolly Babies and is specifically designed to be the beginning of your child’s pre-school education.
We have different modules and learning objectives each term and with every new module comes new songs. We sing a mixture of traditional songs and songs written and created especially for Music with Me. Each song has actions which are relatively simple and easy to learn, so your child can not only fully take part with every aspect in class but they will be able to enjoy doing them at home with the family aswell.
We teach the basic skills of sharing, socialising, listening & taking turns in every class and in every new term we teach something different. For example we learn about the home, weather, seasons, numbers, colours, animals… the list is endless! In each lesson we also have a number of songs that your child can choose and play a mixture of instruments to and within the modules we learn how to control our instruments by playing loud and soft and stopping and starting.
Like Babies, each of the different sections helps your child develop in different ways through music and song. Sessions are weekly during term time, last 30 minutes and held in small groups, enabling children and mums to get to know each other and make new friends. The small groups also help to create an informal and welcoming atmosphere, enabling individual attention and making it suitable for all children at every stage of this age range.
Pre-Schoolers
Pre-Schoolers, is designed for 3 and 4 year olds and is the third and final stage of the Music with Me Programme.
Sessions are held weekly during term time and last for 45 minutes. The children attend without an adult, thus gaining initial preparation for the giant step of starting “BIG” school. As with all our programmes, class sizes remain small.
Pre-Schoolers is the perfect follow on for children who have been to Toddlers but all children of this age will benefit. The format of classes is very similar to the Toddler sessions in that each half term the children are introduced to a new concept and a new theme.
The songs and learning objectives are slightly more challenging and the themes are more drama based, with the children being encouraged both collectively and individually to act out a story
