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.
For older tots, Music Parade is our progressive Yamaha Music course offered to children of 4-5yrs in Nursery and School or at our home in Croydon on Keeley Road!
