Branch into Music

"What do we love about Branch into Music? Everything! I have been taking my son to Anne’s classes for almost three years and over this time have watched his self-confidence blossom in direct relation to Anne’s warm nature and creative teaching style.

From her welcoming home studio Anne introduces children to music and sound principles in a fun and engaging way, encouraging them to explore the world and their surroundings through sound, song, instrument and movement. The kids have a whole lot of fun and the parents get involved too, it’s a great for everyone and I know my son and I will always have special memories of our time together in Anne's class.

"I’m so glad we found this activity for my daughter and I. Within two months she is singing in tune and can stamp in time with a beat. Even her speech has improved. She of course has no idea that she is learning, because she has so much fun during the activities with the endless, beautiful props Anne lets them play with. What a great activity to do with your little one. I only wish I had discovered it earlier so that I could have brought my son.”

(Felicity, mother of one girl, aged 4)

"Branch Into Music classes are a real highlight of the week, both for my boys and me. My two boys love attending Anne’s classes and I thoroughly enjoy watching them dance, sing and interact with other children through music.

Anne’s enthusiasm, in depth knowledge and passion for music are evident in all aspects of her teaching. Each class is well researched and thoroughly planned. Anne uses a wide range of props to engage the children and enhance her lessons. She also explains the developmental benefits of music. The classes deliver a valuable and thoroughly enjoyable experience for all."

"Branch into Music has been, and continues to be a fantastic experience for us. The mix of music and dance ensures the children are always stimulated and the structure of the classes is ideal for babies and toddlers. We love Music, as a family it is our favourite time of the week and the range of topics and themes is very exciting and ensures all children’s involvement. Our children have grown and developed confidence beautifully as a result of Branch into Music."

(Julia, mother of two)

"I am a mother of 3 children (ages 4, 2 and 9 mths) and have been coming to Branch into Music classes for 4 years. My children love music class and they adore Anne. It is something we do as a family and is an absolute highlight of our week. The classes are so much fun, with loads of parent involvement (especially with the little ones who need more parent guidance and help) and I get so much joy in watching them sing, dance and experience the fun that music and movement can bring.

The classes are small which means that Anne can really engage with each of the children and develop a special relationship which gives them so much confidence to involve themselves fully in each of the activities.

The classes are a wonderful mix of music, singing, movement, dancing, role playing, imagination, story telling and FUN. Anne packs so much into each class that the children don't stop, yet, each class follows the same structure so that the children know what to expect and all the movement and noise doesn't becoming overwhelming or the purpose of each activity doesn't become lost.

We love branch into music and couldn't recommend the classes, or Anne’s teaching, more highly."
