The Musical Bumps annual charity Christmas party last Saturday afternoon was a great SUCCESS!
* We raised £438.00 for Croydon Home-Start through ticket sales plus a few donations
* Families contributed a huge amount of food and other essentials for families in need
* 120 people danced and sang the Musical Bumps Christmas repertoire, finishing with a party feast
* Special thanks to my Dream Team of helpers who ensured that everything ran smoothly on the day, including the ‘elf’ siblings. Thank you to St Mildred’s for allowing us to use the large hall and thank you to Pebble for donating the processing fees for all the party bookings.
Finally, I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas – whether it’s at home or away, with just your close family or a cast of hundreds!
Love and Merry Christmas from Maree and Musical Bumps Croydon. x

🎶✨ Carol singing is a magical part of the holiday season with roots going back to medieval Britain! Once sung to celebrate all seasons, carols became closely tied to Christmas during the 16th century. By Victorian times, they flourished as a beloved tradition, bringing communities together through joyful melodies that still light up homes, streets, and churches today.
For young children, hearing and singing carols isn’t just festive—it’s fantastic for their development! Carols help build language skills, introduce rhythm and melody, and connect little ones to a rich cultural history. Plus, the communal joy of singing together fosters confidence and creativity.
Musical Bumps is all about musical education as well as the joy of singing for fun - why not come along and see for yourself!

When musical foundations are laid early on, anything can happen…..
Huge congratulations to Holly who, at the age of 11, has made her professional debut at the English National Opera, playing Flora in Benjamin Britten’s challenging work, ‘The Turn of the Screw’. Holly started her Musical Bumps journey as a 4 month old baby, graduating from musicianship classes at the age of 8. Singing lessons followed and a star was born!!
Here we are at the Stage door. Super proud of what Holly has achieved. 😍😍😍

🎶 ✨How can music and singing help regulate children’s emotions? 🎶✨
Music and singing play a crucial role in helping children manage their emotions. Studies show that when children listen to or sing songs, their brains release endorphins and oxytocin, promoting feelings of happiness and security. Engaging with music can also lower cortisol levels, helping to reduce stress and calm tempers. Singing, in particular, encourages deep breathing and activates the vagus nerve, which supports emotional regulation and relaxation. These responses make music and singing effective tools for children to release negative feelings and build emotional resilience.
Why not join us at Musical Bumps to see for yourself just how positively powerful music can be for children ✨

👅 Encouraging babies to stick their tongues out is a great thing! It’s one of the first things they can copy (making it a fun game!), and it’s good for figuring out how to use the muscles they need for forming sounds and eventually talking. That’s why we do a lot of it in class with songs like Little Green Frog and Pease Pudding Hot! 🐸🥣
