Hello my name is Pamela MacLeod and I run the classes in the Bristol and surrounding areas with the help of my class teachers, Sue and Jayne. You can read a little bit more about me on this page.
Jo Jingles has been running classes in the UK for 10 years now and in Bristol since 2001 where we now run 34 sessions every week during term time in local halls. |
Jo Jingles is the UK’s leading provider of Music and Movement to children aged 6 months to 5 years, with over 20,000 children attending a Jo Jingles session weekly in over 500 locations.
 Pamela says, “Music helps to bring children together. As well as the children having great fun at the classes, experts agree that music has beneficial effects on many aspects of a child’s development.”
Singing, dancing and playing musical instruments encourages children to develop their language skills, improve physical co-ordination, and gain a high level of self-confidence and social skills.
Pamela adds, “I am delighted that Jo Jingles is proving to be so popular with local children. The classes are great fun and the response from parents has been very positive.”
Our sessions last for 45 minutes and provide children with a stimulating and fun introduction to music. Each week we use action songs, nursery rhymes, moving to music and playing percussion instruments, which help with hand-eye co-ordination and as time goes, a sense of rhythm. In our baby classes we also do a section of lap songs which is a good bonding exercise for both mother and child. |
Why not try Jo Jingles for your child's birthday party?
We run parties for children aged 1 to 5 years but parent participation is needed with the younger ones. The party lasts for one hour and is similar to a typical Jo Jingles session but can be tailored to include musical games and your child's favourite songs and instruments. If your venue is big enough, we will provide the parachute and bubble machine. Please call or email Pamela for more details. |
About Me
I’m from Edinburgh originally and came down to Bristol ten years ago with husband Cameron and two daughters, Sophie and Hannah.
As a youngster, I started tap, ballet and highland dance lessons and then progressed to amateur dramatics for eleven years with The Bohemians and we put on annual shows at The King’s Theatre in Edinburgh which was terrific fun.
I’ve always had a love of music and working with young children, so when Jo Jingles came along I jumped at the opportunity. Five years later, I have 36 classes per week in Bristol and I’m still enjoying it! It’s a delight to see how the children in our classes develop through music. |
