About us
Tunes for Tots offers classes for babies and toddlers between the ages of 0-3 years old. All of our classes aim to nurture the emotional and kinaesthetic response to hearing and contributing to live music, may that be through wriggling, dancing, singing or just listening.
Music Parade is our progressive Yamaha Music course offered to children of 4-5yrs in Nursery and School settings.

“Introducing live music from a young age nurtures mindfulness and presence, creating a shared experience that strengthens our awareness of compassion and contribution.
It’s also incredibly special to be able to offer this experience to a Nursery and School setting. I started Tunes for Tots to showcase the wellbeing benefits of listening, watching and being a part of creating live music, for young and adult minds.
Ears are for listening, eyes are for watching and together we are creating.”
— Bethany, Founder of Tunes for Tots Ltd
