Music with Mummy | Anne-marie Collier

Hi Anne-marie here! we have now returned to our “new normal” set up for Music with Mummy classes.   Although restrictions are lifted,  I will continue to keep my classes small in size, and as clean and safe as is possible, while welcoming the opportunity for our little ones to be freer to move around and be sociable again.    All my props and instruments will be washed after every use, mats and surfaces kept clean, and the rooms well ventilated. We are back in a lovely horseshoe shape so we can see each others faces and singing will be joyous.   I feel incredibly privileged to come into contact with so many lovely families in the area – singing all day and seeing how the Music with Mummy programme can play such a vital role in a young child’s life is incredibly rewarding for me. To see everyone having fun and making music part of their lives is just fantastic. As well as running my classes, I am a Regional Coordinator responsible for recruiting, training and supporting franchisees across a wide area. If you, or anyone you know are interested in running classes then do get in touch for a no obligation Franchise Information Pack.

About My Classes

Each week in JOLLY BABIES (birth to approx 15 months) we start with a hello song so we can get to know each other, then we sing a variety of traditional and original action songs, use fun props, play instruments, dance or bounce, have listening time with bubbles and lights, and finish with a lullaby and a goodbye song. It’s half an hour of loveliness! Each week builds on the previous week so you get to know the songs to sing at home as well!  All parents will be asked to buy a ‘prop’ bag which will include lovely sensory things we use in our classes.  This means that we won’t be sharing anything, and you can then use the props to sing all our lovely songs at home.
In MUSIC WITH MUMMY classes (approx 16 months to 3 years old), we begin with a hello song where children can continue to develop their social skills, confidence and independence. Each term we focus on key musical concepts such as loud and soft, long and short sounds etc through termly themes such as ‘Toys’, ‘Colours’, ‘Light’, ‘Family’ and we continue to have fun using props, instruments, dancing, action songs and listening time. We use a mix of traditional and original songs and build on the learning carefully each week so you can both get to know the songs and the learning can continue at home too! We finish each week with a fun goodbye song that everybody loves!
THREE FOUR TIME, as its name implies, is designed for 3 and 4 year olds. Sessions are held weekly and last for 45 minutes. The children attend without an adult, thus gaining initial preparation for the giant step of starting “BIG” school. As with all our programmes, class sizes are small.  It is the perfect follow on for children who have been to MUSIC with MUMMY but all children of this age will benefit. Parents are asked to wait in the waiting area in the building but if a child needs some hand settling into the independent format that isn’t a problem.  The format of classes is very similar to MUSIC with MUMMY in that each half term the children are introduced to a new concept and a new theme. The songs and learning objectives are slightly more challenging and the themes are more drama based but always are an absolute joy to see the children grow in confidence before heading off to big school (the only sad part of our classes!)

Testimonials

Joel, Thornbury

We have done Jolly Babies online and started a Music with Mummy class since classes reopened. Debbie has done so well adapting these classes to changing circumstances. Despite restrictions she has ensure the classes are consistent, safe and accessible but best of all fun! It has been a blessing to me to have her facilitate a time I can invest in my children and the feedback from them has been more than positive; smiles and giggles from Edyth (6 months) and “I love sing with Debbie”

Jolly Baby Mum, Thornbury

I had my baby girl in May and I was looking for a baby group I could take her along to. I discovered Jolly Babies and Debbie is a really lovely and enthusiastic leader who goes above and beyond in every session. Throughout Covid Debbie has created lovely videos on social media which are easy to access along with hosting live zoom sessions which have been a godsend! All of her classes are well organised with lots of exciting instruments to play with and are so much fun ❤️
