Hi! I’m Julie Cruickshank

We’re on round two of our jingling journey, and I’m amazed how Julie manages to keep all the classes so fresh! In almost four years no two classes have been the same.

My son benefitted hugely from Jo Jingles already (tidy up time, taking turns, following instructions, dancing, trying instruments, picking out rhythms, confidence talking in groups, confidence talking to adults) but the other day at class I got a great reminder about how much us adults can get from it too.

Belle’s been attending class since she was 1 week old I think, and over Christmas she’s really come on in terms of walking, so I got a real buzz last week when we went back and she was dancing about, parading up and down the class and following Julie’s instructions. I was so proud to see her enjoying herself so much, and throwing herself into the activities, I was on a high for the rest of the day!

She did so well I even treated her to her own Jo doll!

Just to say I am really pleased to have been part of the last 2 terms of Jo Jingles. Emily and I are looking forward to many more. I am in awe at the level of enthusiasm and character you bring to each and every session. Also remembering the names from every class you take. Amazing. Thank you Julie for making little people and their parents so happy.

Absolutely fantastic class for tiny humans (up to school age). Since our daughter was born we have been to a variety of music and sensory classes. Jo Jingles has been the best by far! We have been going along for a year now, and every week we still love it (parents and baby alike!). Julie, our class leader, just makes it amazing. She is full of energy and enthusiasm and gets to know each child (what songs/instruments they like and what makes them smile and laugh). I cannot recommend this class enough!
