Nursery Sessions

Music Bus provide lively and interactive singing and music sessions for nurseries and children’s centres.

These fun and lively classes support a child’s crucial early development and learning.

The classes are written for children from birth to 5 years and follow a progressive curriculum, taking children through from babies to toddlers to pre schoolers, ready for the onset of school life.

Based in West Sussex, we have provided music sessions for settings across Sussex and Surrey for over 10 years,building strong long term relationships.

Benefits of music:

Children learn, develop and practise many key skills when they actively participate in singing and music making. Areas of development and learning include…

By making learning fun through music and singing, we are able to support children’s development at this early stage and reinforce the work of their nursery. Our programmes support the Early Years Goals and can be used in nurseries across the curriculum.

Classes:

Features include action songs – both traditional and contemporary, percussion playing, movement activities and dance, rhythm time, role play, story songs and theme weeks.

Our music stretches across cultures and genres as well as the traditional nursery rhymes, making it fun and current.

We are fortunate that our trained and experienced teachers are also talented musicians, some of whom can provide   ” live” music in class as a special feature, demonstrating the violin, electric violin, cello, guitar and clarinet.

You can imagine the children’s open mouths when these come out and they hear their sounds!!

We introduce a wide range of fun and colourful resources to the children; from tapsticks for rhythm time to hoops and balls for musical games, dance ribbons, parachute games and a lovable collection of puppets.

Highlights of our classes include the storyboard songs and gathering around the musical box.

Our theme weeks are always popular with settings and can be tied into the nurseries activities during term.

How frequent are the classes?

We provide classes on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis, depending on your requirements. Currently all the classes we run for our existing settings are weekly, thereby providing the full benefits of a regular session that learning can be built upon and is a regular feature of the nurseries provision for their families.
