Eliza Wylie

 

Eliza has specialisms in music with the 0-5s and in West African drum and dance. She currently runs groups for parents with new babies and for families with young children. These groups introduce parents to musical games and rhymes to help them communicate and develop healthy relationships with their children through shared music sessions. The sessions give them opportunities to meet and socialise with other families as well as give them ways to soothe and communicate with their children through songs and rhymes. We watch the babies emerge into their musical selves as they grow and become more able to move, sing and respond to the music. Please look at our gallery to see some of the pictures of our baby classes.
