The ever popular creative learning project for parents and children aged 0-4 returns to Band on the Wall. Explore instruments, create sounds, sing songs, dance, move and make a big noise!
These sessions give children the opportunity to explore, learn and build their musical skills and understanding. They also give parents a chance to learn new and fun repertoire of musicaly interactive activities and games to play with children from a very early age.
The mornings comprise two sessions, each 50 minutes long and led by the brilliant Beth Bishop and Gemma in the Picturehouse Cafe/Bar at Band on the Wall. Both sessions are for children aged 0-4 and their parents. Feel free to attend whichever session is best for you. The 10am session is generally less busy.
Shake, Rattle and Roll includes some original songs, and lots of old favourites! The sessions have become very popular with parents who want to enjoy a music experience with their little one in a relaxed and fun atmosphere. There is a large assortment of instruments to explore and lots of new friends to meet!
Instruments, changing facilities, floor mats, comfy chairs & refreshments are all provided!
These music sessions can:
- Help to develop communication, language and speech
- Improve coordination and motor skills
- Build social skills (amongst parents too!)
- Encourage self-confidence and self-awareness
- Support exploration, play and learning in a safe environment
- Promote the parent / child bond with activities to do at home
They incorporate dance, movement and actions, use toys, puppets and props!
Above all they are a fun activity for families to share!
