Do you have a child in the setting I am in right now? Please get in touch if yes. Say hi. Get involved. You are the most important person in your child’s life.  Music Moves will be so much better for your child if you are part of it.

Music Moves On

Ongoing project work with two year olds and families in North Tyneside

Flute

Making a band

Musical play

singing together, hands on experience of high quality instruments, exploring sounds

Movement play

two year olds need to move. Development movement play supports their need to explore a full range of movements in a fun, safe environment. We will use lycra, scrunchies, bodies and celebrate the unique energy of two-year-olds

Live music

I play the flute, and a small amount of ukulele and djembe drum. The children will have opportunities to listen to these instruments.

Animal assisted work

Lesley will bring golden retriever Heidi in to play and learn with us, and possibly even her hens. Lesley is a speech and language therapist, so all she does is backed up by sound working knowledge of how to best support children's communication skills

I am currently based in North Shields, working with two year olds and families. I am in the setting from January – July 2023. Please come and say hello if you see me. If your child is in this nursery, please get involved. You are your child’s primary educator. I will be working with parents/carers all the way through.

Child leads

Music Moves starts with the child. I am working alongside those who care for them. 

What I actually deliver depends on the unique child or children in front of me in that moment. 

I believe that

  • All children are entitled to make music, sing and dance. This is their right
  • Children are musically competent. I respect and value their musical expression
  • Parents/carers must be involved in creative projects, and respected as the child’s primary educator
