The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children really interested in music so that rather than merely hearing, they are actively and avidly listening.

By the time they leave us to go to school, we want them to be raring to go with an idea about what instrument they’d like to play and consider music to be an integral part of their lives!

Don’t just put this on your ‘to do’ list. We have long waiting lists for some venues, so if you don’t book now, you may miss out.

Babies are on the most magical voyage of discovery – everything they experience shapes how they understand the world and up until a child sees someone playing live music, it doesn’t make sense. It’s a disembodied sound that comes from a box plugged into the wall. The Eureka! moment when a baby first understands how music is made is seminal.

Quite apart from the fact that as musicians it’s a dream to have an audience quite so transfixed, to be present at the moment when a baby’s face breaks into a beam of pleasure as they first comprehend the wonder of musical communication is enchanting for us, and for a parent is magical. Don’t let these enchanting moments disappear without you having noticed them.

Toddlers: Once a child understands how music is made, they want to explore it for themselves which is why we dismissed the idea of simply holding ‘baby friendly’ concerts or recitals.

Having passed the stage of shoving everything straight into their mouths, toddlers want to have a pluck, press, blow, scrape, or bang of whatever instrument is on offer.

Once children discover something for themselves, they take ownership of it and want more.

If we were better business people we’d have set up Mini Instruments 4U because we’ve lost count of the number of parents who’ve told us that their kids want a violin or trumpet for Christmas!

Review:

“Mini Mozart is a brilliant class I have been attending since my baby was a few months old, and it’s been lovely to see him get more and more out of it, from staring in fascination at the many instruments and chilling out under the rainbow parachute to ‘conducting’ along to the beat with the ‘giant scrunchie’ and shaking his maracas along to the music! The stories, songs, props and musicians are all brilliant, I cannot recommend highly enough.”
