Hummingbee Music offers fun, educational, and high-quality weekly music and movement classes designed specifically for babies, toddlers, and preschool children. Founded on the renowned Kodály principles of teaching musicianship, these popular classes are led by early years music specialist Rose and run on Thursday mornings at the Holy Apostles Church Hall in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham.
If you are looking for baby and toddler groups near Cheltenham or interactive preschool music classes in Gloucestershire, Hummingbee Music provides a fantastic environment for your little one to thrive. Each class is carefully structured around the power of the natural singing voice—the ultimate musical instrument. Through a rich variety of nursery rhymes, action songs, and play-based games, children develop an unconscious understanding of crucial musical building blocks like pulse, rhythm, and pitch.
The sessions are lively, creative, and fully supported by engaging props, including puppets, colorful instruments, and multisensory materials like bubbles and floaty scarves.
Hummingbee Music offers two tailored age-specific sessions every Thursday:
-
Preschool Humming Bee (Birth to 4 Years): An energetic, family-style class focusing on live music-making, group cooperation, and physical movement where older kids can stamp, dance, and play instruments while smaller siblings are gently rocked.
-
Baby Humming Bee (Birth to 12 Months): A beautifully free-flowing, sensory-rich class that encourages creative bonding between parent and baby through gentle play songs, soothing lullabies, and social downtime. Complimented by refreshments for the grown-ups, it is a wonderful place to make new friends.
Beyond the public community classes, Hummingbee Music also delivers exceptional music provisions for early years settings and day nurseries across the North Cotswolds. Give your child the gift of music, boost their early social development, and enjoy a wonderful bonding experience together.
