Hello, I’m Diane Tasker and I run classes on the Wirral and in Ellesmere Port.

Classes are currently held in Barnston, Bebington, Heswall, Little Sutton and Wallasey.

Have a look at my timetable to see which class would be most convenient for you.

I also offer Jo Jingles sessions at nurseries, mother and toddler groups and for children’s parties. For further details please contact me.

What is Jo Jingles?

Jo Jingles is the countries leading music and movement experience with the educational slant for children aged from 6 months to 4 years.

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. Over the course of a term the children will play tambourines, maracas, drums, cymbals, claves, bells …….At every class we play two different instruments and everybody plays the same instrument at the same time.

The 45 minute classes are age specific and are held weekly during school term time. Classes usually contain no more than 15 children per class. Parents and carers stay with their child for the duration of the class as interaction with parents is a big part of Jo Jingles and provides quality time between you and your child! As well as classes being great fun, experts agree that music is hugely beneficial to a child’s development. Singing, dancing and playing musical instruments encourages children to develop their language and numeracy skills, improve physical co-ordination, confidence and social skills.

Each session is designed to take into account the ability and attention span for each age group and the structured classes can often follow simple pre-school themes such as animals, transport, colours, etc. We incorporate old favourites and new songs along with a variety of interesting visual aids and props to hold the children’s attention and to aid learning. Props regularly used in our classes include streamers, bean bags, teddies, bunnies and many more.

Parties

Jo Jingles parties are a fun, imaginative and interactive way to celebrate your child's birthday. We can cater for small intimate parties in your home or larger parties (up to 20 children) in halls or other venues. Using musical instruments, fun props and parachute (if space allows), the children are engaged from start to finish.

We can provide a session of 45 mins – 1 hour. All you need to supply is a power point, adequate space and a few enthusiastic grown ups to join in the fun! Parties are suitable from ages 1 to 5 years and are tailored according to age. Favourite songs can always be included.
