Adventures in Music

A magical musical adventure for you and your little one.

Supported by funding from Arts Council England, Inspire has developed an exciting new musical programme for children aged 2 - 5 and their families.

Adventures in Music uses rhythm, music and movement to develop your child's language skills, spark their imagination and build their confidence in exploring and making music.

There are 10 sessions in total with a different enchanting theme each week.  From pirates to fairies, a mermaid city to a monster mountain – come along to clap, stamp, shake, dance and sing!  

Adventures In Music at Inspire Libraries from inspireculture on Vimeo.

New sessions starting in January 2020 available to book now!  Click the links below to book your place.

Current sessions are listed underneath and will run until the end of November - places still available at some libraries.

Tickets: FREE but places are limited so booking is advised.  Your ticket will admit you for the full 10 weeks of musical adventures!

Music Passport

Children will have the chance to develop and practice a range of musical skills.   Each child will receive an Adventures in Music passport (pictured below), collecting stamps for every fun skill learned.  There's a certificate at the end too!

I enjoyed watching some of the children visibly grow in confidence during the sessions and socialise with others and was able to easily identify those who attended regularly because they stood out in terms of attention, engagement and ability.
