JZ School is pleased to present brand-new music and movement classes for parents and young children and parent(s) in 2010.

Our aim in this endeavor is to encourage an early and lasting love of music, movement and self expression and also provide a cozy safe environment for emotional bonding between parent(s) and child.

To show you what we have on offer, and so that mom and baby can see if they like the teacher and environment, we are offering free open classes in March.

We think Sunday mornings are ideal for the activity, so that either mommy or daddy, or both parents can attend with their little one.

Open sessions on Sunday March 14th:

Melody Babies: 9AM
Melody Jellybeans: 10AM

Melody Babies (0-18 months):

Along with the requisite choral singing of favourite nursery rhymes from across the world, Melody babies will have the opportunity to explore different sounds and beats in their environment; discover musical instruments; encounter live musicians and have the opportunity to discover music through play.

Melody Jellybeans (18 months-3 years):

In addition to singing songs, exploring sounds and beats. Melody Jellybeans will have the opportunity to create their own musical instruments, discover music styles and genres from around the world, and engage in dancing activities in order to encourage self-awareness, self expression and movement.

Our teacher:

Amy Hall is from Perth, Australia, where she started learning piano, saxophone and singing at the age of 11. Later on, Amy became a professional musician, performing in various venues in Western Australia. Amy moved to Shanghai two years ago and has been playing music throughout the city. The birth of her son in 2008 encouraged her to explore the benefits of music for young children, and has led to a passion for bringing music into little one's lives in such a way as to set up a lifelong love of music.
