South Milford WI is supporting the launch of innovative new music lessons called Musical Kids for babies and toddlers. Local music teacher Sarah Garrard has created the lessons adapting the world renowned Kodaly method which uses hand signals to help children sing in pitch.

Sarah, who has two children (aged three and a baby) dreamed up the idea after negative experiences with her oldest child at music groups. Sarah believes that pre-school children could learn the building blocks for musical success very early on in a format that is just as fun as a more traditional music group.

'We use fun puppets, rhymes, songs and games to introduce key musical concepts such as tempo, harmony and dynamics etc. It is not only the musical development they learn but language, memory, concentration, physical co-ordination and development.'

Laura Reilly from South Milford WI met Sarah through their children and mentioned the WI Hall as being the ideal venue. 'South Milford WI is delighted to support Sarah with this new and exciting venture. Hopefully, this is the start of something big, many bookings have already been taken' The WI introduced Sarah to local mother and baby groups and Sarah has been demonstrating the class in free sessions during December.
