Baby Music

Every Tuesday morning from 10.00 until 10.45.

It is an informal music class aimed at babies from birth up to about one year.
It is a drop-in class - no need to book, just come along.
We sing simple, rhythmical songs together in both English and Norwegian.
You can have fun with your baby, meet existing friends and make some new ones.
You don't have to be able to sing or be word perfect.
There is a song sheet you can print out from this website but it is only to enable you to sing the songs with your baby at home if you want to.
Song Sheet
Of course it is great to make up your own songs too, using tunes from Baby Music or other tunes you know, and singing about your shared day:
'This is the way we wash our face....'etc or 'Hat on head, hat on head, hat on Katie's head....' (to the tune of Jingle Bells).

''Through music activities children learn pre-language skills naturally- listening, paying attention and concentrating - which lead to anticipating what comes next and being able to follow directions.  All these things form the foundation for learning conventional communication.  Rhythm and melody, repetition, non-verbal responses, vocal play (nonsense), physical contact and an awareness of the appropriate timing for actions or words all contribute to your child's later conversational skills.
Initally you will be the 'Entertainer' -providing all the music, actions and words.
Then you will be the 'Director' - helping your child to do some of the motions.
Eventually you will become the 'Responsive Partner' - adapting musical activities to encourage your child to take an active part and allowing her to take her turn: just as happens in a conversation!''
adapted from 'It Takes Two to Talk' by Ayala Manolson
