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?

    • ..... thinking about the discussion about Chango.  Their "About us" blurb on the website says started by one Argentina guy.  So if one person has a successful business and goes on to open a number of shops when do they go from a supported successful "family" business to a less liked "chain"?  
    • I used to buy a brand of olive oil called 'Il Casolare'. It was unfiltered, often on offer in Sainsbury's and came in a really nice bottle with a stopper. When it was finished, I'd soak the label off, fill it with Morrison's own-brand vermouth and use it for cooking as it lasts longer than keeping wine open. One night there was very little else left to drink, so we got into it - I told people it was a difficult to find artisanal brand I'd brought back from Barcelona and that it should be pronounced 'Vermut'. People loved it. I gave away a couple of bottles as Christmas presents the next year.
    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
