Testimonials

Just some of the lovely things people have said about The Music House:

Early Years
“Charlie's first class was probably the best day of his life so far!” – Bush Babies Parent, 2009

“The highlight of our daughter's week is certainly her Music and Dance class at Bush Hall. The energy and enthusiasm of the lovely teacher rubs off on all of the children and they quite literally bounce around the room, as they learn to move with and to interpret a wide range of different styles of music.” – Mrs Timmons, Bush Dance Parent, 2008

“Sabrina loves attending her baby music class and comes home singing the songs each week! It has definitely improved her confidence. I have been so impressed with the sessions I attended with her, by the variety of instruments the children get to hear (and touch!), and by The Music House‘s endless imagination” – Bush Babies Parent, 2008

“Anna loves going to music and movement. She enjoys interacting with the other children, learning new songs and dancing! She especially likes the instruments and knows what to do with them.” – Bush Toddlers Parent, 2007

Group Tuition
“I'm very happy with how Joe is getting on. Most of all, he loves Drum lessons, which I suppose is what it’s all about.” – Mr Castle, Group Tuition parent, 2009

“Margot enjoys her keyboard lessons - if she didn’t she would definitely tell me! The fact that her teacher is very friendly and encouraging is an important part of this. I think the course book is good too - it’s broken into small, achievable units so she feels that she’s learning something.” – Mr Vowden, Group Tuition parent, 2009

“Milo very much enjoys Matt’s classes. Matt has certainly challenged him with some technical but always enjoyable pieces.” – Mr Pedler, Group Tuition parent, 2008

“Thanks so much for the concert on Sunday - we all loved it.” – Group Tuition parent, 2005

Two-to-One Tuition
“Jamal has been really inspired by and learnt so much at the Music House. You always have a great programme of classes and events.” – Mrs Wise, Two-to-One parent, 2009

“They both love their class - it's their favourite time of the week” – Two-to-One parent, 2008

Workshops & Shows
“thank you for the Lion King Musical theatre workshop on Tuesday. I sent my daughter along with her friends and they all came back gleaming eyed singing at the top of their voices.” – Ms Howe, Workshop parent, 2011

Schools and Nurseries
“Our children enjoy their music sessions enormously. They learn about music in a fun and lively way - using instruments to find rhythm and beat – and use their whole bodies to move to music. I can thoroughly recommend The Music House to everyone who cares about children and their development and learning.” – Anneli Isherwood, Principal at The Beanstalk Montessori Nursery School, 2008

“The Music House for Children has provided The Good Shepherd RC primary school with excellent music teachers ranging from violin to classroom music, choir leaders, clarinet and flute tutors.” – Cathy Doogan, Head teacher at Good Shepherd Roman Catholic Primary School, 2008

“I have been finding my (dancing) feet generally at Cathnor, applying some of the things I've picked up from Music House and the Little Birdsong CD, along with some of my usual repertoire of activities... The Shh! What Can You Hear activity was particularly appropriate. The children listened intently and with anticipation, and also anticipated the lively sections which they moved around to with gusto.” – Steve Barbe, Music House Early Years teacher, 2011

“I have really enjoyed my time at the Music House. It's been a privilege to have worked for such an excellent music service.” – Jeion Nejad, Music House guitar teacher, 2009

Training
“Really enjoyed and started putting the ideas into practice this morning…Loved singing the old songs from years ago – had completely forgotten them.” – Childminders Association, 2010

“Brilliant. Very calming. I was nervous of ‘performing’ but just felt included, and warmed up naturally due to non-conventional approaches” – Ginny Jory, Paintpots Montessori Nursery schools, 2010
