Rhythm Time

Classes are education and fun music classes involving singing, building confidence, encouraging creativity and co-ordination for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers. Babies are born with many musical abilities but not only this, we understand that every child is different and by encouraging and nurturing these skills, their all -round intelligence will be developed. It is education in a really fun and exciting way.

Our classes grow with your child, so come along and enjoy the many activities that encourage children to develop their senses, language and listening skills as well as confidence and creativity. 

Its a great opportunity to make new friends too. We play instruments, use scarfs, count, conduct, sing, jump in puddles, catch bubbles, bounce teddies, learn long and short sounds, be animals, make ourselves small and large, be a tree, tap a tune and so much more.

Our classes encourage speech - we work with beats, clapping out syllables and rhyming. We also understand that parents / carers need some time away from the house to interact with their child and with other parents/carers.

Various Rhythm Time classes run during term time at The Ark.

To book or for more information please contact
Vicky Taramasco  on 0121 447 7632 or e-mail vicky@rtmusic.net
We look forward to hearing from you.

MONTHLY AT THE ARK

ARK ANGELS - Second Monday of the month at The Ark

Ark Angels WI meets in the Ark at St Laurence Church, Alvechurch, after moving from Alvechurch Library where it was originally founded in September 2010 under the name of Bookends Late Edition.

The branch has a youthful and vibrant approach while upholding the core values of the WI – it boasts a wide age range and welcomes all who are seeking to try a fresh and modern WI.

Previous events have including a Zumba exercise class, taster sessions of Tai Chi and Flamenco dancing, a Bottle and Board Game night, tips on researching family history, and a fundraising night in aid of St Basil’s, a local charity which supports young homeless adults.

The group is always looking for new members, so If this sounds like something you might be interested in, the ladies would be very happy to welcome you as a guest for an evening. Ark Angels WI meets on the second Monday every month, usually at the Ark at 7.30pm.
