"The best activity in the area! After nearly 18 months of classes, I can see Matthew already has a sense of rhythm and an ear for music- I love hearing him wandering about singing."

"We love it!"

"It has become one of the highlights of my busy week. I worked for many years as a speech and language therapist and have been highly impressed by the way Mark manages to teach listening skills, vocabulary, rhyme and rhythm through music. Fine and gross motor skills are improved as they play the instruments and move to music. All of these skills are such important precursors to school life. He also develops social skills by encouraging them to wait briefly for their turn, to share with a friend and to understand rules. He uses praise throughout and even manages to direct the adults so that they can experience success!"

Weekly Music Sessions in Horsham...

Our unique and creative sessions are rapidly gaining a reputation as the best musical experience on offer for pre-school children. Currently we are running 19 sessions throughout the week in Horsham alone. The session leaders create an interactive musical space where child and carer can be guided as they explore sounds, shapes, rhythms and rhymes together in a relaxed and stimulating environment. A fun warm-up will often be followed by a series of focussed activities based around the current topic, responding through actions and developing their singing voice from gurgles to songs. We will then explore music more physically, using dance and imaginative play.

Families are then introduced to a specially selected piece of music which they will hear on a high quality PA system and invited to respond creatively: perhaps using movement, hand-held percussion and other stimuli. Most sessions also include time to re-focus before taking all the fun back home to enjoy throughout the week!

Weekly sessions last for 40 minutes
and take place in groups of same-aged children.
Fees are paid termly in advance and are charged at £5 per session,
or £6.50 for two siblings attending the same class.
(Younger siblings under 1 year of age can come along for free).

The Newborn baby cafe is different, as it is not paid for in advance. (We know what life is like with a newborn baby.) Instead it is a weekly drop-in music session, starting with complimentary drinks and fairtrade biscuits, for 0-6 month olds and their carers.
