Musical Babes

Each session features a range of English children’s songs, listening activities, percussion and rhythm and introduces some Spanish children’s songs too. Actions and toys are used to accompany the songs so that children can join in from very early on and understand the words within the songs. The children also understand that songs can be sung in different languages. Early language concepts, such as long/short, up/down, loud/quiet, fast/slow are introduced within the sessions using the songs and music. Also different vocabulary is taught like body parts etc. These concepts are foundation skills for language development. Music, rhythm and action-songs are essential for pre- and foundation communication skills (turn-taking, listening, attention) social interaction and speech and language development. Most importantly, children learn more when they are having fun! Aims For the Children:
