Shake & Stomp at Circle Music

d Education is child-centred, and is delivered with a very keen sense of humour. Her classes are more like a 'live show' with the aim that everyone in the room is entertained and enjoys themselves while learning a thing or two. Rather than just being 'instructed, the children are invited to join in the fun with Angeline as equal participants. Everyone can be their fantastically individual selves (which means there's no such thing as mistakes!) So if that means dancing when everyone else is sitting down, quietly observing from the sidelines or helping ADQ run the show, then that's absolutely fine. There are just three simple rules: LISTEN - so you can LEARN; BE RESPECTFUL & KIND - so you can make new friends & HAVE FUN! **

Fundamental musical concepts such as rhythm, melody, tempo, pitch, rhyme & dynamics are all introduced under the imaginative guise of cows that say 'quack'; caterpillars who become 'bread-flies'; rap versions of the classics & the odd mention of bums & poo - of course! It might not be for you, but you'll only find out by giving it a try. Remember 'Green Eggs & Ham' ...

Shake, stomp, sing, dance, make some beats and have a giggle. Play the djembe (hand drum) shake a maraca, an egg, your head or a tambourine. Sing along to songs that are familiar and learn some new songs you haven't heard before.

** Learning what it means to have a sense of humour and how it feels to share a joke with someone, is a fundamental part of children's growth & cognitive development. They learn not just about themselves but start to understand, through conversation & communication, the complicated nuances in language & expression that make up human interaction. There is no better feeling than making other people laugh & understanding what 'a joke' is. When we laugh, we relax, we share common ground together & it makes us feel good - the perfect recipe for any 'learning' environment.
