Rhythm Time, one of the leading providers of educational music classes for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers, has enjoyed further success this month after its free baby music class demonstrations on the 5th and 6th of December attracted high numbers of parents who have subsequently decided to sign up for its baby music classes.

‘It’s very important for parents to be able to try our fun and educational music classes for young children before they commit to classes on a regular basis” says Kathy Doolan, owner and Founder of Rhythm Time.  “Once they experience first-hand how the classes can genuinely benefit their children (for example by enhancing speech development, social skills, confidence, co-ordination, creativity, as well as many other areas), the majority of them will sign up for the long-term until their child reaches school age."

Rhythm Time, one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s music franchise groups, is proud to announce its collaboration with Dorridge Music School in Solihull.  Both organisations are recognised as providing quality music education.  DMS (established in 1985) provides tuition for 4 year olds to adults (beginners to diploma level) and Rhythm Time (established in 1995) provides fun, educational music classes for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers.  Kathy Doolan, Rhythm Time founder, has incorporated key musical elements taught within their classes into DMS’s Crotchet Club (the youngest of their students).  This will ensure a seamless transition between pre-schoolers leaving Rhythm Time and joining the Crotchet Club, thus providing an excellent foundation musically for the youngsters.

Rhythm Time is promoting the advantages of music to parents of babies and young children in its classes.  Kathy Doolan, Founder of Rhythm Time states, "during the first five years in a child’s life it is important to establish singing as a means of communication and expression. Research shows that babies in particular, need to have all their senses stimulated.  There are therefore many benefits to young children who attend baby music classes as well as music classes for toddlers and pre-schoolers."

In this modern world, life moves at a very fast pace and it is very tempting to sit a child in front of a TV or wonderful expensive toys. However there is no substitute for active learning. Talking and singing to a young child will enable them to listen and learn.
