Rockabye Babies @ Gracelands Yard

Taught by classically-trained musician and performer Elizabeth Hayden-Jones. Elizabeth is a mother-of-one who lives in Maida Vale, London. She started School of Rock-a-bye Babies to bring a different type of music class into local babies’ and toddlers’ lives.

Each School of Rock-a-bye Babies class is specifically tailored to your child’s age group – birth-9 months; 9-18 months; or 1 ½-3 years – and will introduce him/her to rhythm, melody and harmony through play, dance, musical experimentation, and listening to a variety of live and recorded music: Bach to The Beatles, Stravinsky to The Shins, Mozart to Miles Davis, Nursery Rhymes to Nelly Furtado.

Classes are very popular and fill up quickly, but there are a few remaining places available for the youngest age group, 0-14 months at 11.55am every Thursday- so please call early to get a space in class!  Elizabeth:  07702 81 50 80, or visit www.schoolofrockabyebabies.com for further information.
