Music and Movement Classes for Children

This outstanding music and movement programme creates an environment that contributes towards holistic education. Children grow in a 'doing' environment and each session provides a musical experience that nurtures the whole child through all the senses.

Each session lasts for approximately 50 minutes and includes singing, focused listening times, movement activities and use of instruments. Core themes are taken from nature and each session is structured around developmentally appropriate lesson plans that address a child's basic need for Movement, Exploration, Sensory Motor Experience, Language and Interesting Activities

Classes expose children to a whole range of benefits. Music and Movement can...

  • Establish beat competency and nurture the singing voice.
  • Develop balance, control, dexterity and enhance motor development.
  • Help children explore abstract concepts on an experiential level.
  • Develop self-awareness and a strong sense of identity.
  • Emphasize give and take social interaction.
  • Express activities and feelings of everyday life in mime and drama.
  • Enhance language development and communication.
  • Improve academic skills.

Parents stay throughout and participate in the activities with their child. Places are limited to 12 per session and we offer vacancies as they occur through our waiting list.

Class Fees

Class fees are £4.25 per session and payable in advance in half-termly blocks. Siblings under 18 months attend free of charge and a half-price rate is available for a second child in the same class.

Regrettably, fees can't be refunded or tied-over due to to non-attendance although you are welcome to make up the missed session by attending an alternative class. There is a one-off registration fee of £12 on enrolment of which £6 is refunded when you give 4 weeks notice that you intend to withdraw your child from the class.

Here's what our clients say!

"I cannot begin to list all the skills Alyssa has learned along the way, and as a primary school teacher I wish all children could experience the sessions."

"... I have been taking my two children to a class in Exeter. The classes last one hour and captivate the children from beginning to end. I am aware that we are very fortunate to have such quality music classes on our doorstep".

"... Grateful thanks for many a happy hour. We've all loved it!"

"... I've seen a real change in Cameron's confidence level around his peer group and I think your classes played a big part in this! See you in Sept..."

"Your classes are a super way of teaching children about music whilst making it fun. I will continue to recommend you to others".            

"... thank you for two amazing years of music. I have enjoyed them as much as Tom. Music/singing has become one more language which is definitely the key to real musicality!"
