Adventures in Music

A cartoon of a zebra, mermaid, dragon, pirate, ship and fairy.

A magical musical journey for children aged 2-5 and their families.

These sessions use rhythm, music, and movement to develop children's language skills, spark their imagination and build their confidence in exploring and making music.  

From 2026 sessions will run for a minimum of 10 weeks at 13 Inspire libraries, repeated 3 times within each calendar year (April, September, and January). Every week has a different enchanting theme - from pirates to fairies, a mermaid city to a monster mountain - allowing children to clap, stomp, shake, dance and sing. Join us at an Inspire library near you for a fun, engaging introduction to music making!
