What is Mini Melody Makers?

Sutton Music Trust (SMT) runs Mini Melody Makers, which are a fun and engaging music sessions with parents or childminders and their children in the Early Years.

Music making with children contributes to development across the seven learning goals as identified in Development Matters: Non-statutory curriculum guidance for the early years foundation stage.

For example, clapping and stamping to music is part of physical development. Responding to changes in music (such as from quiet to loud) is part of expressive arts and design.

Sessions take place on Thursday mornings (09:30-10:15) at Floor 1, Cantium House, Railway Approach (opposite Wallington Train Station). Lift access is available for buggies!
