We made it through January with lots of singing, smiling and fun! At classes we've seen babies roll over for the first time and sit up unaided for the first time.  Toddlers crawl, walk, clap and wave for the first time, and pre-schoolers grow in confidence to sing solos in class.

It’s all great.

Children need music

A great article and this is exactly what we do in our classes! theguardian.com/science/2023/d…

Until music is at the heart of every school then we’re not taking education seriously. Music is seriously important to the holistic education of every child - the physical, mental, social, emotional, spiritual child. Being serious about education means being serious about music.

A question for parents, grandparents and carers that attend our classes….. We know that your little ones love singing along to our songs in our baby, toddler and pre-school classes but which of our songs has become a total EARWORM in your household? 🎶

It's International Cat Day so what cat songs can you think of (we'll let you include big cats as well as domestic)? 🐱🐈‍⬛🐈🐅 #catday #InternationalCatDay

We celebrate with music. We mourn with music. We party with music. We reflect with music. We learn with music. We comfort with music. We excite with music. We dance with music. We dream with music. We connect with music. We express with music. So much of life is done with music.

Music is valuable. Studying music at school is valuable. Studying music at university is valuable. Studying music in any way shape or form is valuable. It’s valuable. It builds better people. It builds better communities. It builds a better society. Music is incredibly valuable.

If you want to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of young people then you immerse them in music and music-making. You fill their schools with music, you fill their communities with music, and you fill their lives with music. Music educates the whole child, for life.

Music isn’t low value. Art isn’t low value. Drama isn’t low value. None of The Arts are low value. They contribute so much to our lives, to our communities, and to our society. Without them, our lives are greatly diminished. Without them, we are greatly diminished. Value them.
