Why should I choose a music session for my child?

Countless research studies indicate that music aids the development of speech, social skills, confidence and self-expression. Music can also help with maths and reading:

When children learn rhythm, they are learning ratios, fractions and proportions - Professor Gordon Shaw, University of California .

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.

It’s also lots of fun and an opportunity to dedicate 45 minutes a week to a structured activity with your child!

Welcome to Jo Jingles!

Hi, my name is Charlotte and I run Jo Jingles classes in the areas of Abbots Langley, Bushey, Bricket Wood, Garston, Radlett, Rickmansworth & Watford, wonderfully assisted by my class teachers Marissa and Juliette.

Classes run in different venues five days of the week and we also visit The House That Jack Built Nursery in Watford, Old MacDonald's Nursery in Chorleywood and Places for Children Nursery in South Oxhey.

Jo Jingles now has over 100 franchisees like me and as the “leading provider of fun and educational music and movement classes” we have around 25,000 children per week attending classes in over 500 venues throughout the UK and Ireland.

A little bit more about me

I’ve been involved with with Jo Jingles since my son Ollie came to classes with me at 6 months of age. He's just started school and I'm expecting my second child in February 2010. Now it's a little harder for me to jump up and down quite as vigorously, I have handed over my classes to my very capable class teachers Marissa and Juliette.

I still enjoy visiting as many groups as possible during the week and the baby certainly enjoys 'jingling' along from the comfort of my ever growing tummy!

Introducing Marissa

With two young children of her own at primary school, Marissa loves her role entertaining other people's children at Jo Jingles. Her classes are always fun and lively, and to quote one parent "Marissa's classes are full of laughter and and they keep my little one entertained from start to finish".

Introducing Juliette

Before becoming a class teacher Juliette had attended classes with her twin boys for over two years, “It’s been so rewarding to see my boys develop a love of music through attending Jo Jingles classes – this is what spurred me on, to pass this onto other children”. Juliette has a background as a dance teacher, in nursing as well as supporting her local beavers & cubs group.

Hello from Jo

Jo is the heart and soul of our classes. He is extremely friendly and actively participates in all of our classes. At the start of each session he welcomes all children with a smile, a wave and a cuddle. Then he might sing or dance or pretend to be a train driver, a monkey or even a teapot. Sometimes he hides and we have to look for him. Sometimes he falls asleep and he needs some help to wake up. Sometimes he is shy and we have to encourage him to join in with the fun. But he always makes time for plenty of hugs and kisses when it’s time for the children to say goodbye.

What's Jo got in store for us this half term?

In our classes for Under 2’s and Over 2’s this term Jo is taking us on a magical musical train journey across many exciting lands and far away places. We're visiting the jungle, meeting creatures under the sea, flying into outer space, visiting a magic wood, taking a trip to fairy land and even exploring the land of cakes! By introducing the children to an exciting new theme each week our sessions create an atmosphere for them to develop their imagination and learn through having fun with music.
