So what do we do at Jo Jingles classes?

Classes are both fun and educational. They are age specific and are typically offered for babies of 6months - walking, walking - 2, 2 - 3 and 3 - 5 although age groups may vary in some venues whilst we establish the class lists.

Classes run for 45 minutes and are during term time only. The classes are interactive and we make sure we build on a repertoire of both old favourites and exciting new songs. Jo Jingles helps to teach each class and becomes a big friend to the children.

For the 2 plus group
We also have lots of props and visuals to make things fun and regularly theme the classes for the 2+ age groups. We have a large selection of percussion instruments and will use two different instruments each week. Each child will get his or her own identical instrument to play on - this helps to prevent toddler squabbles! Sometimes adults get to play too! Classes are limited to around 15 children which helps us to introduce the children to routine and gentle discipline . all things which will be helpful when they move on to school.

For the 3 plus age group
who may be at playgroup or nursery school part-time, Jo Jingles is an ideal activity for mum to share quality time with her child before he or she goes off to "big school"

The 3 - 5s class
includes a "music theory" module where we learn about notation, musical instruments etc.

The Benefits of Jo Jingles

Music has an enormous part to play in a child's early development and there is growing evidence that music can also help at a later stage with subjects as diverse as mathematics, foreign languages and scientific problem solving.

"Singing songs to your child widens their vocabulary and improves listening skills, both of which make learning to read easier". Professor John Sloboda, Keele University.

"A child is more confident, usually speaks early and gains an early grasp of the rules of communication if started early in clapping games, group activities and musical games". Dr Miriam Stoppard
