Contact Hilary Crothers Email hilary@musicbugs.co.uk Telephone 0844 822 1156 Welcome to Music Bugs - sensory music classes for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. My name is Hilary and I am the franchisee for East Edinburgh. Music Bugs classes are fun, lively and entertaining for babies, toddlers, pre-schoolers and grown ups too! Each 40 minute session is packed full of a mix of nursery rhymes, action songs, counting songs, knee bouncers, finger rhymes and much, much more. To add to the fun, we use a selection of fun props including puppets, scarves, parachutes and bubbles, and the children have the chance to try out different instruments.  Our Baby Bugs classes are suitable for all non walkers from birth and are full of the usual Music Bugs magic with added sensory and stimulating play for little minds. Regular exposure to music and movement is a fanatastic way to support your child's development.  Not only are Music Bugs classes great fun, but they are also a vital learning tool which can boost your child's use and understanding of language, mathematical skills, social skills, fine and gross motor skills, concentration and confidence.  Our classes are friendly, informal and great fun and are a great way to get to know other families in your local area.  Music Bugs are suitable for children from birth to school start. If you are interested in joining our classes, please contact me to arrange a free taster session. Did you know that Music Bugs East Edinburgh also provide themed music workshops and instrument making workshops for nurseries and pre-school groups both during term time and school holidays? Please get in touch for further information on any of our classes or activities, or to book your free taster session at one of our classes. Hilary Crothers

		Music Bugs is really fun and informal and great for toddlers. My 18 month really enjoys it. As well as the obligatory music and singing (cd accompanied so you can join in with gusto!), there are musical instruments, puppets and props to keep the wee ones visually excited too. I find my daughter makes me sing the songs and actions over and over at home! Very worthwhile if your child loves music and dance.  Cheryl, Edinburgh Music Bugs is great - both my children - a 2 year old and a 6 month old love it!   Fiona, Edinburgh Music Bugs is the best music class that my son (26 months) and I have been to, and we've been to a few! The classes are fun, with lots of great props, and interesting (the songs change every week, which keeps it really fresh for parents too). My son gets really excited as soon as we enter the class and loves playing with the musical instruments and puppets. The songs are a great mix of old favourites and new, catchy ones. We've bought one of the CDs and enjoy singing along at home too. Hilary, who runs the classes, is brilliant and my son loves her. She's very friendly and welcoming and makes the sessions lively and fun. Michelle, Edinburgh
