Jamsing - Music Sessions for Babies and Toddlers

JAMSING MUSIC SESSIONS run on Tuesday mornings during term time at Swaffham Prior Village Hall. Each session provides a range of musical activities suited to the age of your child, including nursery and finger rhymes, action songs, percussion instruments for small hands and colourful puppets to bring the songs to life.

New parents are welcome to Join the special baby session - after the singing there is time to stay and chat and for the babies to make friends. The playsongs soon become familiar and many can easily be sung at home to comfort, encourage, distract and simply to have fun - no toys necessary!

As soon they can walk the toddlers begin to really enjoy the action songs and clap, stamp and jump enthusiastically - mum's get a free workout! The children learn to communicate and socialise and soon begin to know the words of the songs and rhymes. The older children are able to play more imaginative musical games and begin to share and take turns with larger percussion instruments and finger puppets.

So if you have a pre- school child and are looking for a friendly local group to attend, please come along. There's no need to book - each session costs just £3.00 per family.
