OUR KNOWLEDGE. THEIR BENEFIT.
Climb aboard for a musical adventure with exciting songs and activities about the seaside, holidays and transportation with Music for Little People classes in the Autumn. Some of the songs will be traditional favourites which some of the children will already be familiar with. Other songs are those especially composed for the classes by Karen Dickinson. Children learn a lot through the medium of song – especially when those songs are accompanied by actions. They will name familiar objects around the room, name body parts and also incorporate names of actions: we move “faster” and “slower”, stretch “higher” and “lower” and respond to instructions such as “stop” and “go”.
In the first half of term we’ll be singing about our holidays and all the time spent at the beach and frolicking in the sea! We’ll be “having fun at the seaside” and sailing with the good ship on the “Alley–alley-Oh”. You’d better watch out for the pirates who go “this way, that way, forwards and backwards, over the Irish Sea” – but maybe we’ll be able to row our boats quickly enough out of the way. In the second half of term we’ll move on to all sorts of songs about transport. We’ll be singing about the traffic lights and how to cross the road as well as going down to the station to see all the trains. We’ll be riding bicycles, flying in aeroplanes and taking all kinds of trips in our “uggily buggily buggies” …..read more
Happy customers.

Here Comes the Sun, doo-bee-doo-bee!
Waddling like ducks, soaring with the seagulls and counting down from 5 as those naughty ducks get lost while swimming – Here at Music For Little People we’re really looking forward to the warmer weather and singing about birds as they all return for the Summer. We’ll all be involved in music that has birds as a theme – from listening “oh so carefully” for that cuckoo call again in “The Carnival of the Animals” to jiving to “Bluebirds over the Mountain” by the Beach Boys. We’ll also visit countries as diverse as the West Indies and Australia to hear about the yellow bird and the kookaburra.
