Waddlers Music Class [10-20 months]

Waddlers Music Class [10-20 months]

Gentle weekly music with Kristina & sensory play for young children, held in a warm, calm private centre. These small-group sessions support early development, bonding and joyful connection through music, movement and sensory play.

• Each 45-minute session includes:
  • Early years music & song
  • Movement and rhythm
  • Sensory exploration
• Classes are led by a qualified music educator and are relaxed and welcoming
• Parents stay with their child throughout

Focus: Self-control and rhythm.

• Impulse Control (Stop/Go): Games like "Freeze Dance" or instruments that stop on a cue. This is a foundational executive function skill.
• Gross Motor Skills: Crossing the "midline" (e.g., reaching a shaker from the left hand to the right side) which is crucial for later skills like writing and dressing.
• Social Mimicry: At this age, toddlers learn by watching peers. Music groups provide the first "classroom" experience where they learn to take turns with instruments.
• Confidence & Autonomy: Giving them "choice" songs (e.g., "should we shake the bells fast or slow?") builds early decision-making confidence.

FAQs

1. My baby is very active/crying/sleeping. Can I still attend? Absolutely! Our sessions are entirely child-led and designed to be a "no-pressure" zone. If your baby needs a nap, a feed, or a diaper change during the class, please do whatever makes you both comfortable. We embrace the "beautiful chaos" of early childhood—there is no such thing as a "disruptive" baby here.

2. What should I bring to the class? You don’t need any special equipment! We provide all sanitized instruments and sensory props. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes (for both you and baby) as we usually sit on mats on the floor.

3. Is the venue buggy-friendly and accessible? Rhythm Room is up a flight of stairs, so it's best to leave your buggy in the car.

4. Can dads, grandparents, or childminders come instead of the mother? Of course! We welcome all primary caregivers. Whether it’s Mum, Dad, Nana, or a childminder, the goal is to foster a bond between the child and the adult present. It’s also a great way for different family members to learn the songs we use so they can be repeated at home!

5. Do I need to be "musical" to join in? Not at all! You don’t need to be a professional singer or musician. Your baby doesn't care if you're "in tune"—they just love the sound of your voice. The classes are about participation and play, not performance.
