KiddiTunes at the Allendale CentreKiddiTunes are offering free taster sessions

KiddiTunes aims to encourage learning and development through fun and structured classes and each session provides various educational themes such as the weather, the seasons, colours, numbers and animals, using nursery rhymes, action songs and classical music. Children are encouraged to participate by not just singing, dancing and partaking in action songs but also have the opportunity to play various percussion instruments such as drums, jingle bells, castanets and maracas.

There are a wide range of visuals and props introduced throughout each session including various puppets to aid the children’s learning and enjoyment and these are changed frequently.

KiddiTunes sessions also support early learning goals to include: Communication & language skills, physical development, listening & memory skills, personal, social and emotional development, confidence, creativity and imagination and number skills.

Why not try one of our FREE taster sessions?

It is widely recognised that singing and activity music making with young children can aid development in many areas other than just musical appreciation and so why don’t you offer your child the opportunity for a head start?
