We are really sorry if you are not able to attend and hope you will be able to enjoy sharing these Mainly Music videos and songs with your children. We've shared a few of them here, but there are plenty more on the Mainly Music YouTube channel.
Creating Memories
-
You will be creating memories together.
The structured 30-minute music session will be followed by 60 minutes of coffee/eat/play/chat. Snacks and refreshments will be served, followed by a time of unstructured play. At the same time, you will be able to connect with others.
“What’s really helped me from the group sessions was the realisation of the fact that every family has their share of tough times and issues. Being part of a group where most people are going through similar stages in their lives has really helped.”
Accept that initially (and quite possibly at other times) your child’s behaviour might not model what you had hoped. That is okay. We all have off days! Feel free to ask for help from the local team. We all have these parenting moments.
Sometimes children will not fully participate, maybe observing for a while. That is okay. We accept that children will do this. Keep modelling your enjoyment and involvement in the session.
During the session, your child will be learning and developing, participating in the music, expressing their imagination, finding enjoyment in the educational moments, laughing at the puppets, and participating in group activities. Your little one will enjoy this sensory event. Key will be your experience of attachment, the lasting emotional bond a child forms with a specific person that provides safety, comfort, soothing and pleasure.
The qualities of our emotional ‘intelligence’ are permanently acquired by only 2-3 years of age yet impacts on every aspect of our lives as long as we live. Enjoy these opportunities to spend time together.
Our volunteers are here to care for and encourage you.

Weekly sessions …
Weekly sessions are full of songs and rhymes, actions, and movement, designed to engage you and your child.

Not only will your little one
be delighted by the one-to-one attention you give, but you will love the way they respond and develop.

We also have access to other support,
like counselling, Toy Library and the Pepe Plus Store (Free second-hand children’s clothing).
There’s Bible Study on Tuesdays at 10am and church on Sunday at 10am.
Our focus is for you to find friendship, be encouraged and for Mainly Music to become a highlight in your week.

Hope you enjoy this session – you’ll need your fingers. And if you can a shaker or bells. If you don’t have these, what about some keys to jingle. And if you’d like to do something fun with Two Little Dickey Birds, any two types of stickers for your fingers.
Here’s an on-line mainly music session. It’s happening because we can’t meet right now due to Covid-19. Bring a scarf and if YOU want, a box or container to sit in. But the scarf is the main thing. AND guess what! Special guests are in this session.
Can you find two shakers – maybe you put something I n small plastic containers – and something that will become ‘Ion ears’ for your head – for today’s crazy session!
Can YOU find a box to sit in as we sing together? It would be great to come with claves – two wooden spoons will work!
Here’s an on-line mainly music session. Bring along three branches – a small, medium, and large piece. Time to get pruning! Your children will need access to at least two pieces for most of the session. We Use the three sizes in the first rhyme.
