Jolly Melodies Music Company
Jolly Babies – birth to 15 months
The start of our musical journey together! What can you expect in Jolly Babies? Bonding time, bouncing time, bubbles! They’ll be a high-energy dance or two but also the most gorgeous gentle lullabies. Our Jolly Melodies Music leaders use a wonderful range of stimulating sensory props and, at percussion time, a selection of musical instruments specifically designed for the tiniest of hands. As soon as you feel ready to attend, you will be welcomed into Jolly Babies with your new little one. We set no minimum age; you come when you and baby are ready to get out, to get going and to start making friends! In the thirty minutes you carve out to be together, singing and dancing, you will begin to learn so many beautiful new songs that will fit around the stages of your baby’s development, and so much material that you will come to time and time again between classes to play, to soothe, to settle.Jolly Toddlers – 15 months to 3+ years
And now your little one is ready for more! Each half-term, a different theme focuses our weekly class, our singing and activities – ‘Colours’ or ‘Transport’ for example! Musical learning is more concentrated too; we’ll gradually direct your child towards our clearly defined objectives but do so at a level suitable for the individual. We’ll sing, we’ll dance, we’ll bang the drum and shake the maracas and we will smile and laugh (a LOT!). You will be amazed at how much fun we can fit into our action-packed half hour together! Rhythm will develop as will confidence and independence plus we’ll keep on practising those all-important listening skills too.Location Keedwell Hill, Long Ashton, BS41 9DP Room/Space Village Hall When Tuesdays at Jolly Toddlers 09.30, - Jolly Babies 10.15 Contact Clarissa Griffiths Phone 07778667010 -
