If you make music with under 5's and their families...
...then The Family Music Hub is your home for resources, training, support and community.
Perhaps you're leading:
- A 10 minute sing-song at the end of a stay and play or playgroup
- A 'Rhyme time' in a local library
- Dedicated music sessions in a family hub or children's centre
- Home visits by health visitors / other family workers
- Music in healthcare or perinatal mental health settings
- Pre-school or nursery family engagement
- ...or something else entirely!
If so, we've created an online hub that will:
💥 Save you time, giving you the practical resources you really need (no more scrolling, no more wading through YouTube!)
💥 Value you, and support you in your vital work with families
💥 Offer practical support and skills, delivered by an experienced and respected team
💥 Inspire and inform you with training and research
💥 Connect you to a community of other group leaders
... all for less than £2 a week!
