Hello all,


I am a primary school teacher, and I run Sparkle Music here in East Dulwich, which currently includes classes for babies and 2 and 3 year olds. I'd like to start up a class for 3 and 4 year olds. I have a small number of children moving up from the 2/ 3 year old class, but need a few more to make the class viable. Would any of you lovely ed'ers be interested? The classes will probably run Fridays, 2-2:30 at a hall in East Dulwich- am hoping the afternoon would suit most people as it seems most put their children in nursery in the mornings.


The classes: They will teach children essential music skills such as pulse, rhythm and pitch, all through action songs, musical role play and musical games. There will be singing, moving to music and playing percussion instruments. Some weeks may be themed, others just a bunch of fun muscial games! All activities are tailored specifically for 3 and 4 year olds, and will start them on the road to musical literacy and the skills necessary to learn an instrument. ALl in all they will learn music musically!


Please let me know if you'd be interested. I'd love to run these classes if I can. Or if you have any questions.


thanks

Something I forgot to add to the initial post was that I'm hoping that once children feel settled in the class, parents would be able to drop them off for the half hour. Would that help persuade a couple more of you?!


Please do let me know if there is anything you are unsure about in my description or if you have any further questions.... For anyone interested in music education theory, classes are based around the ideas of Kodaly and Dalcroze.


The first class is free, so come on, give it a try!


Thanks!

I'd love to do this as Friday is my day off and I have a 3 year old who loves good music classes (and doesn't mind me leaving at all) - but the time may not work as my 1 year old tends to nap until 2-2:30. So if you do drop-in classes as well you'll definitely see us whenever the stars lign up correctly :)

I know this is not the kind of answer you're looking for... hope there are some mums who can really commit.

Thanks for the reply.


I had hoped to have a later slot because of nap time issues, but unfortunately this is the only slot I can find so far, in a hall which has a piano.

Drop in is a bit difficult for my classes, as I teach songs and skills over the weeks, children need to be there as many weeks as they can get the best from the classes.

Thanks for the ideas, and giving me another perspective- I need to know who's out there!

I would be interested in this for my 3 year old daughter - the timing would work well as she's at school nursery in the mornings, and I would have to be finished to pick up my son from school at 3:30pm (and until #3 arrives I'm free of the constraints of nap times!). Please let me know once details are firmed up.

You're very welcome to join in January. Or, I also run a class for 2 year olds (see thread in the family classified section) which lead onto the 3 year old class. It's Friday mornings, at Dulwich Library maybe that could suit for the mean time?

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
