How can we make the most of the classes?

It is strongly advisable to buy the book and CD which correspond with your child’s class, as this will enable you to receive the maximum benefit from the class. It will also encourage music making at home!

Be enthusiastic: sing the songs and say the rhymes with your children at home and during the class. Singing to your children is key to their musical and emotional development, whatever the standard.

Arrive promptly allowing time for your child to visit the toilet before class if necessary.
