At Music Bugs, our aim is not to teach music, but to allow and encourage young children to develop, grow and explore the world around them through music and song. Participation in music and singing classes is a great way for your child to socialise and develop in a creative and stimulating environment. In addition, research has shown that singing songs and rhymes on a regular basis helps to widen your child's vocabulary and listening skills which are an essential part of learning to read, write and communicate.
During a typical 40 minute class, we will sing nursery rhymes, counting songs, knee bouncers, action songs and finger play rhymes. A wide range of props (pom poms, puppets, scarves, bubbles, percussion instruments, hobby horses, and teddies) help to engage your child's attention and bring our sessions to life.
We offer 4 age group options for you and your child.
Baby Bugs – Newborn to 12 months. These multi sensory classes provide a perfect introduction to music and singing for your baby. From a very young age, your baby will be able to recognise and respond to the pattern and rhythm of music and will enjoy being held, rocked, swayed and soothed as you enjoy the class together. We will introduce you to lots of new songs (plus many old favourites) that you will be able to continue to enjoy together at home.
