Hi, I am Sara Beevers and with the help of my trusty friend Jo, I run Jo Jingles classes in the Lincoln area. I also hold classes in Retford and Bawtry and I will be starting classes in Gainsborough in 2008.

I have always enjoyed being around children and up until buying my franchise was a Childminder in Retford looking after children aged from 6 months to 14 years!

From a young age I loved singing and dancing and performing on stage so to be able to work with children and sing and dance at the same time has to be my dream job!

I hope you find all the information you need regarding classes in your area on this website but if you do have any questions please feel free to contact me for further information, or to book a place. My e-mail address is sarajojingles@btinternet.com or you can telephone me on 01777 708748.

To see my timetable and find a session near you please look on the classes page.

What is Jo Jingles

Jo Jingles is the UK’s leading provider of music and movement for children aged 6 months to 5 years. There are over 20,000 children attending a Jo Jingles session every week.

The highly established group offers successful programmes which give babies and toddlers a fun introduction to music through the use of songs, nursery rhymes, movement, dance and percussion instruments.

The 45 minute classes are age specific and are held weekly during school term time. Over the course of a term the children will play tambourines, maracas, drums, cymbals, claves, bells and more! During the class we play 2 instruments and all the children will have the same instrument!

A number of the songs we use will be familiar but we also use a variety of other material, some of which has been written specifically for Jo Jingles. To add to the enjoyment we use a number of visual aids such as a parachute and balls, pom poms, bubbles and many, many more!

The benefits of music for young children

Studies have proven that music is vital to a child’s development. By coming to Jo Jingles classes your child will not only have LOTS OF FUN but music will also help them by

• Improving their listening skills
• Improving their development of speech and mathematical skills
• Improving their physical co-ordination
• Gaining confidence and independence
• Interacting with other children and gaining social skills

"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
