Developmental Music Classes in Grimsby

But surely it’s just Banging instruments…

We all know that music can have a huge impact on us, as adults, a simple song can make us laugh, cry, or even calm us down. But have you ever thought about how you can use music to support your baby?

What if I told you that through carefully selected music and activities, music can help build your baby’s brain, whilst having a positive impact on their heart, breathing, relationships, language acquisition and so much more… I haven’t even scratched the surface yet!

Do you want to come to a music class that’s not just lots of noise?

When we think of music, we think of banging instruments in a noisy room – but that’s definitely not my vibe!

We go much deeper than that, we build connection, we support your baby’s learning, we use music as a tool to grow, bond, stimulate, build, connect and learn.

And – my favourite bit – we nurture you as a new mama.

My 6 week Developmental Music course is all about you and your baby. There will be activities that you can repeat at home, knowing that you’re making a lifelong impact on your baby’s development. We will be covering:

Music
Singing
Baby Brain Build
Peekaboo

Rhyme
Movement
Lullabies
Instrumental Play

Nurturing Touch
Mindfulness
Gratitude
Active Listening

By having a block of classes, it will ensure each class is with the same set of friendly, local mamas, who you can make friends with and chat in your secure WhatsApp group, between classes.

My main aim, with all of my classes, is to give you the tools and the techniques to walk out of the door with confidence, knowing that you are the best person for your baby.

During Developmental Music classes, you will learn how to use music to support you as a parent, to support your baby as they move through their mini milestones and you will learn the science behind why we are doing each activity.

Let’s talk Baby Brain Build!

One aspect of the Developmental Music session that will be new to you is the Baby Brain Build.

Imagine having a mini routine of baby yoga stretches, that you can put to any piece of music at home. A set of simple stretches that you know are having a hugely positive impact on your baby’s brain!

During this gorgeous activity, you will be playing with your baby, building your relationship with them, gaining their trust, all whilst using supporting their physical development, strengthening the pathways in their brains and laying the foundations for all of those big movements – rolling, crawling, walking etc.

Why parents love the mama spring

“What I really loved about the class was that it was so relaxing and calming. It’s nice to have a class that encourages parent communication, so we can support one another… especially one that offers a cuppa We look forward to the next sessions.”

Steph

“Was really nervous to start baby groups with my little boy, I even nearly cancelled due to him suffering badly with colic. Danielle encouraged us to come along anyway and offered so much help with that matter and anything else we struggle with!”

Jenna

“Danielle is wonderful, extremely supportive and knowledgeable. She has been guiding me on a 1-2-1 basis in pregnancy, she answers my many questions and helps reassure me… I love our sessions and can’t wait to do many many more.”

Sarah

Meet Danielle…

I am so passionate about children’s development; I have spent 14 years as a teacher, linking every activity to the children’s targets and next steps.

When I started my business, teaching Baby Massage Classes, I started looking into babies development and how we can support them to reach their full potential.

Not ‘just’ play.

I completed my Diploma in Infant Developmental Play just a few months after studying my Tummy Time Practitioner course, as I realised that there was so much more for these babies to learn than just tummy time!.

frequently asked questions about developmental Music…

It is very important for your baby to hear music at home, but if you want to learn all about the types of music you can play or the songs that you can sing, and how they are helping your baby, then this is the place to come!

To be honest, I’ll be surprised if they don’t cry at some point! Crying is your baby’s main way of communicating – all babies cry! One of the first things I say at each session is that our classes are all baby led, so if they need feedings, changing, a nap or a cuddle, that’s ok, we go with the flow.

You may not believe it, but I used to mime at baby classes when my first baby was little!! So this is definitely an option! But, please remember that your baby’s favourite sound is your voice, and I promise you that everyone else will be so engrossed in their own little love bubble with their baby, that they won’t even know you are there, let alone listen to your singing! And if that isn’t reassuring enough, around 90% of the class has backing music and around half of the songs we just listen to – even I can’t sing for an hour straight!!

What about those of you who are anxious?

I’ll hold my hands up to this one, I’ve been sitting outside a baby group in the car in tears because my anxiety took over and I couldn’t face going in.

I absolutely know how you feel and my inbox is always open, there’s even a box on my booking form for you to share any worries!

I’m happy to meet you at the door, let you come 5 minutes early and any other way of helping you get in the door… it’s all about that first step, the rest are much easier!!

Still got questions?

If you’re still unsure whether this is the course for you, please get in touch. I am more than happy to discuss the different classes I offer and we can have a chat about how to most effectively meet your baby’s needs.
