Our new 6 week term starts on Thursday 21st January

Suitable for children from birth to five
YouTube link to watch on demand
Straight to your inbox each week
£4 per class for all the family

If you are looking for ways to entertain your little ones during lockdown and they love music, singing and dancing please join my online sessions. Everyone is welcome. You don’t need to have attended my face to face classes or even be local. This isn’t like watching TV; classes are fully interactive and structured just like our face to face Music Bugs classes.

There will be lots of your favourite Music Bugs songs, children’s songs and nursery rhymes!

The 30 minutes sessions are aimed at babies and children from birth to five years of age however all ages are welcome to join in. Just purchase one ticket per household costing £4.

You will receive the link to your YouTube session each Thursday throughout the term. You can watch the sessions anytime and as many times as you like. Pause the session when you like to give you and your little ones flexibility.

Please note that these sessions require full adult supervision and participation. Your children’s safety is your responsibility. You will also receive a list of suggested props which can usually be found around the home or made from household items. However you can join in just as well without anything.

We hope you can join us online soon and hope to see you in person in the not too distant future.

What some of our parent’s are saying:

Do it! It’s a fantastic way to engage your children in fun, interactive leaning. Also as class can be watched multiple times you can revisit and watch at a convenient time.

Give it a go 100%! You don’t need to worry about your child being noisy or losing interest as you can always go back another day to watch the rest.

He is also now at an age where all the actions are finally coming together and he is understanding the words in the songs without my help at times, I feel this would have been a huge missed opportunity to his mental development, and has certainly helped my mental well-being, knowing he is still learning from musical play!

*These sessions still require you to supervise your child at all times*

Some of the lovely feedback we've received from Music Bugs parents

We love the classes. We constantly get new ideas on how to engage and develop Meabh’s skills through the songs. She loves the songs and enjoys the actions especially the knee bouncers. I would highly recommend Music Bugs Online as it is a great way to spend quality time with your child as they bring music into their daily routine to help them learn.

Natalie – Belfast

James brings all his toys out and asks for Music Bugs as it’s a regular morning activity that we do together. He has learnt so many actions to the different songs and enjoyed playing musical instruments. I have noticed it is really helping his speech and recognition but learning lots of words to the songs, and about shapes and animals.

Laura – Newtownards
