Children's music sessions at The Sage Gateshead
The Sage Gateshead leads fourteen sessions a week for children and their parent or carers. The sessions are friendly and welcoming, with a mixture of structured and improvised music making activities. The sessions use songs, dances, all kinds of instruments, puppets, soft toys, lycra and children's own ideas to make music as engaging as possible for little ones.
As well as having lots of fun, children and parents can take home songs and musical games to can explore further at home. These sessions take place in The Greggs Children's Room, but it is also possible to arrange for a musician from The Sage Gateshead team to come and teach in settings around the North East. Whether you're a practitioner, or a parent interested in receiving training, staff at The Sage Gateshead have a varied set of programmes available.
The team at The Sage Gateshead currently works with groups of settings across County Durham as part of the Access to Excellence Music Manifesto Pathfinder programme, which aims to embed music at the heart of the Early Years environment. They are also working through Sure Starts and Family Learning teams in a number of local authority areas throughout the North East.
