Bandstand Babies music workshops are a fantastic introduction to LIVE music for children aged 3 months to 3 years.

Becoming involved in music making from a very early age helps children to learn a multitude of skills, both intellectual and social.

Workshops are available for parent and toddler groups and private day nurseries.

Musical activities are carefully selected and tailored for the following age groups*:

3 - 12 months

1 - 2 years

2 - 3 years

Bandstand Babies music classes differ from most others on the market because they do not rely on recorded music to deliver the activities.  Children are given the opportunity to interact with a professional musician and are encouraged to feel the vibrations of the clarinet, saxophone, flute and recorder during LIVE performances.

Each 30 minute session includes LOTS of participation with percussion instruments and children are encouraged to share, to take turns and to listen to one another. Luan also incorporates singing and other vocal activities to help develop language skills, movement and dance to develop physical co-ordination and motor skills and listening games to develop concentration.

In addition to performing favourite songs and nursery rhymes on her clarinet, Luan improvises to suit the mood or theme of a particular game or activity.  Live music is much more versatile than recorded music and Luan's instruments are extremely effective in illustrating musical concepts such as high/low, loud/quiet, fast/slow, happy/sad.

The sessions can also provide excellent training opportunities for parents or carers who might wish to develop their own musical skills to enable them to continue making music at home.                             

Luan can offer ‘one-off’ sessions (prices starting at £60 for a single session to around £100 for a half day to include several classes for different age groups*) or a series of sessions to meet your particular requirements.

Why not give it a try? Its great fun!
