 Hello, I'm Claire Marshall and I run the Jo Jingles classes in Evesham, Pershore and Bredon.
I have been running the classes since
October 2005 since when I have added baby classes, more pre-school and toddler group visits, and the additional venue of Bredon Village Hall to the schedule.
I was brought up with music, playing the piano and violin at a young age, and later taking up the flute. I have three young girls who are all musical, and who themselves were introduced to percussion instruments, nursery rhymes and movement songs at an early age.

What is Jo Jingles?
Jo Jingles is the UK's leading provider of music and movement classes to children aged 6 months - 5 years, with over 90 Franchises nationally bringing music to over hundreds of children every week! The first Jo Jingles classes started in 1991. Jo Jingles, as a Franchise, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006 and continues to go from strength to strength.
We provide children with a fun introduction to music. The emphasis is on enjoyment, as well as being educational, and involves simple action songs, nursery rhymes, musical instrument playing, movement, dancing and fun with the help of 'Jo Jingles'' a very happy and cuddly rag doll whom the children become very fond of.

Benefits of Jo Jingles for young children
Music helps children to interact and develop social skills, but above all music is fun. Learning how to be part of a social group, how to take turns, how to listen, how to be still, and how to have fun in a disciplined environment are the key elements in Jo Jingles classes.
'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 music games.'
Dr Miriam Stoppard
'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.
