What are the Benefits of Attending? A child is more confident, usually speaks early and gains an early grasp of the rules of communication if started early in clapping games, group activities and musical games.

Dr Miriam Stoppard, Child Psychologist. Singing songs to your child widens their vocabulary and improves listening skills, both of which make learning to read easier. Professor John Sloboda, Keefe University. We booked Maria for my son's first birthday party and went to a week day lesson too.

She is absolutely the best child's entertainer I've ever seen. So engaging, lively and professional but with the personal touch. I can't recommend her highly enough Will definitely be going to Jo Jingles now! Laura Parkin. Each week Jo Jingles delivers different ways to interact with the children using simple music, movement and songs in a way that helps them learn whilst having fun. Jo Jingles is an amazing experience that all children should have the opportunity to enjoy!

Do you want greater career flexibility? Do bear in mind that the class age groups are just a guide and a less confident child may benefit from staying in their familiar class for a little longer. Equally, a very confident child may be moved up early if they need the extra stimulation of an older age group class. All children are individual! Jo Jingles class prices start from c. Generally we do not offer a "Pay Per Class" option as Jo Jingles is a structured activity with limited class numbers.

To enable each child to get the most from the class it is necessary to have small, consistent groups each term. We provide a planned programme over the course of a term with each child playing an appropriate instrument.

Since the start of the Coronavirus 'Lockdown' in March Jo Jingles has been offering online sessions with JoJingles Home in many of our franchise areas. From April 12th, we are now back at public classes in many areas including in Scotland and are continuing to implement Covid safe policies and class procedures. All of our presenters have completed Infection Control training during the last year and we have produced our own 'Keeping Classes Covid-Safe' guidelines for participants at all sessions.

Simple, clear instructions combined with baby safe instruments and props such as bells, bubbles and balls create half an hour of pure miniature magic! This was a brilliant class to attend. Full of excitement, chatter, friendship bonds and activity. These walking to 2s classes provide a good mix of instrument playing, circle and walking songs that keep newly wandering babies and active toddlers engaged.

Children are given lots of praise and encouragement as they start to explore the world independently of their adults to join in with the songs and actions.

This age group have developed control over their bodies and can sing back songs and copy movements so teachers are able to address the children directly rather than their parents as they introduce a wider range of instruments such as triangles and cymbals along with lots of props such as scarfs and parachutes. At this stage the adults can take more of a back seat in classes as their children are encouraged to move and think independently and for those who want to continue their musical fun outside of class, takeaway activities and sheets are available.
