Help: Local music groups for a 2 year old this September 2015

[Tanqueray]

Our beloved music class with Monica Weil's Creative Music is sadly coming to an end as she's retiring this month.

Such a shame as they really were the best classes we ever went to.

I am looking for a fun music class starting in Sept 2015 for my little one who'll be just about turning 2 then. We didn't really get on with Boppin Bunnies at Punk Me Up cafe as the littles ones tend to run all around the shop and be more interested in painting lol!

I know that there's the Monkey Music franchise but I wondered if there was anything a bit more local?

Please let me know if you have any recco's....

Thanks heaps x

Hi depending on where you are there is a lovely group on a Tuesday morning at the ivy house 10.30-11.15 Margaret's music. Lots of drumming using instruments

New songs that we hadn't heard before going there. ?5.50 per session and ?1 for every extra child.

She has a Facebook page search for Margaret's music ltd for timetables and locations.

It's in Camberwell so not so local, but this is a really brilliant group which you can attend on a drop-in basis but which I found really attempted to in still the basics of good musicianship - even in two year olds. So they did lots of things like watching the 'conductor', playing loud and soft, as well as having lots of fun and hearing a lovely musical story each week.

Lots of opportunities to try instruments and good progression paths too.

I warmly recommend Becky Vicary's Music for Little People classes. We have just finished 3 years with Becky (my son is starting reception in September).Becky is a professional singer and musician as well as being brilliant with children and her fun and creative classes have really inspired my son to have a love of music.

Here's a link to Becky's contact details:

and to her timetable:

(although I believe her 2-4 class in East Dulwich is changing to 10am on Wednesday mornings from September).

Another vote for Becky and Music for Little People. She's so animated. The kids love her and all the other parents happen to be lovely too. Real shame that we won't be going back as my little one starts nursery soon.
