"I don't sing because I'm happy, I'm happy because I sing." William James.

 

RESEARCH:

 

Don Campbell, author of 'The Mozart Effect' found that early learning occurs primarily through MOVEMENT.

 

The 'No Child Left Behind' Act of 2002 states that 'Studying Music encourages self- discipline and diligence traits that carry over into mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history and geography'.

 

According to a 1997 article in Neurological Research, Music helps prepare the mind for specific disciplines of learning; skills leaned through music carry over into study skills, communications skills, cognitive skills and abstract reasoning skills USEFUL TO ALL PARTS OF LIFE.

 

Findings from a study conducted by three researchers at Sam Houston State University show that parental time spent with children is a significant factor in the development of intelligence.

 

Now in the UK the government are back on board with providing funding and opportunities for Early Years Music and encouraging making music as a famiLy in the home. As a Kindermusik Educator I am convinced that regular MUSIC MAKING IN THE HOME creates better lives for all involved.

 

Hope we get to make music with you :)

Parties:

We run parties for children 1 to 8yrs and our customers- parents and kids alike are loving them! They tell us we are great value and great fun.

Roz of Poole told us, after we had run a home party for her 5 year old son - 'My 3 year daughter has already asked if she can have you do her party and this is coming from the hardest to please 3 year old I know! My 8 year old son rushed up to me exclaiming 'that was the best! We would book you again without hesitation.'

Here's what 4 of our mums have to say:

Lyn with Barney

Taking my youngest son to Ali's group has been a wonderful experience for us both! We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that Ali has provided for us to sing and dance together - Barnaby (aged 1) loves to bounce along and always spends the whole session smiling! Ali creates a friendly atmosphere and always provides purposeful, fun activities. We are very much looking forward to joining her again soon!

Jill with Avery

'Avery just loves to move and groove to all the music Ali provides. Ali played her cello last week and it made Avery stand to attention - believe me, a rare event at the moment!! Ali really cares for our children and her years of music training and early years knowledge clearly show in her brilliant classes'.

Lauren with Noah

'Both my son (12 weeks old) and I have loved the sessions. The activities get all of his senses tingling and the best thing for me is that afterwards he has a restful nap in his pram while I enjoy a chat and piece of chocolate cake with the other mums!'

Sam with Zara

Just thought I'd recommend The Ali Pally School of music to anybody wanting to introduce music to their babies life. The other day my daughter surprised me with a dance routine of forward and backward steps not too unlike something we'd done at one of her classes! She is now 19 months and loves it!
