Online Sibling Singing Sessions

These fun singing sessions include; vocal warm-up activities, body warm ups, and singing!

Zoe Mace is a young professional singer and will be running these singing sessions for all ages and for siblings too! Singing is a brilliant way to support children's learning and their communication. The actual exercise of singing strengthens the lips and tongue and encourages clearer speaking. Also, one of the greatest benefits of singing is the repeated use of the memory singing muscle which helps to build up concentration.

Zoe began singing with her little sister Jodie, who had Down syndrome, and saw first-hand the incredible impact singing had on Jodie’s speech development, her confidence and simply their enjoyment of singing together!

First Thursday of each month at 10.30am. - We appologise as these sessions are suspended till further notice.
 

Cost:  £5 per family
