Pre-School music for children and parents

You are never too young to start to enjoy making music! We begin our Music with babies and young children accompanied by Mum, Dad or a carer. There are sessions with babies from the age of 3 months. As the children grow, they are moved into the class suitable for their age group, often moving in the friendship groups formed at baby music.
Children get the chance to use real instruments, both pitched and percussion, in groups led by experienced professional musicians and teachers
