I have had the pleasure of running Music with Mummy classes for just over 12 years now. I took both my Daughters from a very young age and as a result it inspired me to start running my own classes. I aim to make sure that everyone has lots of fun in a relaxed, friendly and informal way allowing you to enjoy your special time with your little one and take home some new ideas and songs to enjoy for years to come!
Classes are small with a familiar mix of nursery rhymes and traditional songs but the majority of tunes we sing are new and composed especially for Music with Mummy. With a mixture of action songs, movement, percussion time and good-old-fashioned singing, the emphasis is on having fun and enjoying music.We take the time to develop your child’s confidence and make music part of everyday life in a calm and happy environment.
There are two types of music classes available:
Jolly Babies (0-15 months approx): a delightful first introduction to music a half hour of bouncing, singing, percussion and movement where you can bond with your baby and make friends. Classes are small and carefully structured for young babies, starting gently, building to a stimulating middle section and then slowing to a calm ending.
Music with Mummy (1- 3 years approx): this is the next step on from Jolly Babies and continues our musical journey. The main aim is to teach basic aspects of music whilst having fun. Classes are kept small which helps build confidence and familiarity. Each half term we introduce a new theme and incorporate different learning concepts such as loud and soft, fast and slow, rhythm. There is always percussion time and lively activities with the chance for high quality interaction. Social skills, listening, sharing and turn taking – are an important part of these classes.

We have been attending Beth's jolly babies classes since my baby was 8 weeks old. The "real" sessions were the highlight of our week and my baby was really stimulated by the songs, music, activities and other babies. Since lockdown began we have continued with the online classes and I can see how his face lights up when the classes start and he recognises Beth and the songs. When I start singing the songs at home he always smiles and laughs, and if he is crying they are a magic cure to make him stop! I'm really glad I found these classes and would definitely recommend them to others. They are also a fantastic way to meet other mums.
Beth is fantastic at what she does. Always kind, enthusiastic and full of smiles and positivity. Her communication, effort and dedication to making classes COVID safe has been second to none and I am so hugely grateful. It must have taken a lot of hard work and it was so lovely to get out the house today! My little girl loves the classes and has done so since just 3 months old. Looking forward to attending many more. Thank you Beth x
