MUSIC WITH JACKIE

Award winning Music class for babies, toddlers and preschool children

What Music with Jackie says

“Music with Jackie” is an award winning Early Years Music Education class. Established in 2003, this unique programme has captured the hearts and minds of hundreds of families throughout Edinburgh and the Lothians. It is guitar and song based with recorded music being kept to a minimum (some good quality Classical and Folk music). This makes for a very relaxed, non frenetic atmosphere where children are responsive to learning all the basic musical concepts in an unconscious, creative and fun way. Join Jackie on a musical journey all the way from bonding with your baby with wiggles, tickles and bounces to hearing your older child singing solo with confidence and joy. Classes strongly emphasize and facilitate parental involvement. You will be encouraged to interact as much as possible in the class and to take what you share with your child in the class into your family home and make music an integral part of your everyday lives. Jackie has a huge repertoire of traditional and original songs, action songs, finger rhymes, musical games and stories using many soft toys and other props to illustrate and bring the songs to life for your child.

About

I am a mother of two boys. My background is in singing/songwriting. I play guitar and have a Diploma in Modern Musicianship. My work with children started in 2003 following the birth of my first born son. I like to offer a sense of community in my classes. I have a real passion for music and singing and a strong belief in the importance of music during a child’s formative years. With nineteen years of experience and development I hope my classes reflect the joy and dedication I put into them.
