Musical Miniatures (0-4yr olds) interactive, CV secure sessions full of music & fun. Musical Giants
Musical Miniatures - Our specialist Early Years programme Musical Miniatures, now in its 5th year, is packed full of music and fun. Jenny brings her specialist knowledge and understanding of young children and their development, integrating this into engaging, fun, and exciting music classes. She teaches a mixture of familiar and new songs, using a range of props including musical instruments, pup
pets, chiffon scarves and parachutes. Jenny also performs live on a range of instruments and provides opportunities to dance and move with your little ones. Our classes offer a wide range of learning opportunities for babies and children focusing primarily on your child’s musical development, whilst also supporting, the development of language, numerical skills, physical development, social skills etc. The material used is designed to stretch the minds of 0-5 year olds, but I hope you’ll have some fun along the way too. Musical Giants - Launched in Sept 2021, Musical Giants sessions concentrate on initial musical development, working imaginatively with pulse, rhythm and pitch using both Kodály and Dalcoze methodology. The teaching is designed to make learning fun within a structured environment. The first two years of Musical Giants work well as a precursor to learning an instrument, laying excellent musical foundations. There is no audition procedure and no prior musical training is necessary. Musical Giants is for children aged 4-6 to attend without their parents. I often feel like learning an instrument at too young an age is a bit like teaching a child to ride a bike before they can walk. Why not enable your child to learn about the building blocks of music (pulse, rhythm, pitch etc) and also how to read and notate music before having to learn all the technicalities of the actual instrument? Let’s grow their musical roots before we plant the tree on top. Musical Giants Home Ed - Introducing our new Musical Giants classes for Home Educated Children aged 4-7 years, and their younger siblings starting January 2022. Unlike our other Musical Giants classes, younger siblings will be invited to join us in the sessions meaning all parents will be asked to remain in the building with their children. Class content will be tailored based on the age range of the families who sign up, ensuring children’s individual needs are met. Developing your child’s music education with us will provide a social element to learning, help to strengthen family connections learning altogether, give you access to an excellent music education all within a supportive, non-coercive, flexible environment. MMOnline - Launched in Sept 2020, MMOnline has evolved from being a lockdown class replacement to an excellent educational music resource that you can tap into anywhere, anytime. For the monthly price of a coffee and cake, MMOnline supports families in a range of ways, it’s for adults looking to support children with their Early Years Music development, families who have moved away and miss our class, families who attend our classes and want to sing the songs at home with more confidence, families who have recently introduced a new sibling and are looking for something fun and educational to do with their little ones in the comfort of their own home. The material found on MMOnline aims to establish confidence in both the adult and child to lay strong foundations in a child’s Musical learning, whilst also being great fun! Our Guide - Being in the privileged position of knowing lots of local families, ‘Our Guide‘ is a document that I have put together aimed at providing parents with information of local options for fun activities/days out. Be it visiting a beach on the Essex coast, looking for a local park/softplay, wanting some museum inspiration or looking for a seasonal activity, I hope you find ‘Our Guide‘ useful. It is a working document, so if you have any thoughts opinions of things I may have missed or ways to improve the document, then do get in touch - head to our website to download your copy (https://musicalminiatures.co.uk/our-guide/)

I’m running two classes this Friday, and my own (not‑so‑little) kids will be joining us for the fun. Because of that, there’ll be no 11:30 0–18mths class today — apologies for any inconvenience.
These classes are the last of our Summer Pop ups this year.
Looking forward to a joyful end‑of‑week session with you all.

No experience needed, no auditions — just warm community vibes and great music. Babes in arms are welcome, and there’s a discounted first‑session ticket if you fancy giving it a try.
We rehearse every Thursday, 20:00–21:15 at the Leytonstone Social Club (Ex‑Servicemen’s Club, just behind The Red Lion). Our new term starts 10th September.

Those of you who’ve followed me for a while will know how much I love a tuff tray. It’s just so versatile — water play, pouring, scooping, colour mixing, small‑world setups, messy play without the mess… it’s one of my favourite ways to keep little hands busy and curious.
Here’s one of our simple family finds from this week — easy to set up, endlessly engaging, and perfect for summer days outdoors.

A quick summer update — I’m running weekly Summer Pop‑Up Musical Miniatures sessions all through July and the first two weeks of August, so your little ones can still enjoy their musical fix even while I juggle my own childcare puzzle.
We won’t be following the usual timetable, but there’ll be one joyful session each week until we head off on our family holiday in the last two weeks of August.
Older siblings who are already on holiday are very welcome to join in, and there’s parking available at the venue too.
