Hi, our names are Victoria Dales and Kerry Nixon and we run Jo Jingles classes throughout Ayrshire.

ABOUT US

We are both mums with young children who attended classes locally. We loved the way Jo Jingles introduced them to music in a fun and active way. So for us there was no better reason to become part of Jo Jingles when the opportunity arose.

Introducing Jo….

Jo Jingles was set up in 1991 as a result of research highlighting that music can help the development of language, numeracy, physical co-ordination and communication skills in young children. The aim is to give babies and toddlers a fun introduction to music through the use of songs, nursery rhymes, percussion instruments, movement and dance.

Classes are both fun and educational. They are age specific and run for 45 minutes with usually a maximum of 15 children in each class. The classes are interactive and we make sure we build a repertoire of both old favourites, and exciting new songs.

Jo Jingles helps to teach each class and becomes a big ‘special’ friend to the children. We have lots of props and visuals to make things fun and regularly theme classes. We also have a large selection of percussion instruments and each child will get his/her own instrument to play. Sometimes adults get to play too!! Jo Jingles is an ideal activity to share quality time with children.
