Rattles & Hums: Music Workshop for Under-5’s

For your little music maestros aged 12 months to 5 years…

Overview

Get set for a musical adventure that will have your little ones singing, playing and bopping along to some very catchy beats.

From classic, much-loved nursery rhymes to modern children’s songs with interactive elements, expect tunes about pirates, a hungry boa constrictor, sleeping bunnies and more.

But there will also be drumming and shaking and we might even use a parachute! To top it all, Kjell, from Rattles & Hums, will bring a tiny steel drum that we’ll use on our Magical Mystery Rollercoaster ride. And for the parents, Kjell has also thrown in a couple of songs that you won’t be able to resist singing along to.

This class, perfect for babies and toddlers aged 12 months to five years, provides you with a chance to take a break from the distractions of the outside world and really connect with your little one.

Aside from being buckets of fun, making music encourages the building of social skills too. And through a range of exciting songs, we’ll practice counting and we’ll be learning about body parts, animals and sharing with others.

During this class there will be live music from the guitar, djembe and a tiny steel drum. These are all acoustic instruments, from which you can really feel the sound vibrations travelling through the room to awaken all your senses.
