Welcome to our website which tells you all about Jo Jingles
in your area.

Hi, my name is Kathryn and helped by my teachers Kirsty and Fiona I run Jo Jingles classes in the Saffron Walden, Haverhill, Bury, Sudbury and Ipswich/Woodbridge areas and some of the villages in between.

My first musical memory is my own pre-school music class aged about 2½ held in a neighbour's house in Bradford on Avon.Who would have thought that many years later I would be running my own music classes?

Kathryn won the award for
Jo Jingles Midlands
Franchisee of the Year
in Summer 2006

When I was older I took piano and flute lessons and was lucky enough to play in a local youth orchestra and then to attend a boarding school famous for it's musical excellence, taking part in concerts, choirs, orchestral and chamber groups and loving every minute of it. Now I get just as much of a buzz "performing" my Jo Jingles classes daily as I did playing in an orchestra.

I really enjoy working educationally with children and have spent years undertaking occupational therapy and educational therapies with my daughter, and have a great interest in child development and a real empathy for those children who find life a challenge based on the journey I have had with my daughter. I try to bring that knowledge to my Jo Jingles classes and love to see our Jo Jinglers as they develop and grow in confidence and musical dexterity.
