Pygmy Goats
10:30am - 11:00am every Saturday
at Semitone Studios, Stockport Road, Marple
Pygmy Goats is our new name for our group for younger kids on a Saturday morning. It is all about introducing children to different types of musical instruments and honouring the kinds of music they want to make. We play games and tell stories that help support them to start reading music and understanding how sound works in an age-appropriate way. For those who would like to start playing a more advanced instrument, we have ukuleles and guitars available to borrow.
​
Anyone who attends the Pygmy Goats session is welcome to stay and watch the older kids' songbook session afterwards and see if they might be ready to take part.

FAQs
Q. How much does it cost?
A. All kids sessions are now £5 per child per session.
​
Q. Can siblings come to watch?
A. Yes! Please let us know in advance so we can monitor numbers and comply with fire-safety regulations. You do not have to pay the £5 for a child who is not participating and we try to be as flexible as possible with last-minute participators (or last minute non-participators).
​
Q. What kinds of instruments will they play?
A. We have BoomWhackers, xylophones, maracas, guiro frogs and thunder durms for kids to make as much noise as they like. We also have ukuleles and a guitar free to borrow and Patrick is always happy to let students have a try at pretty much any instrument he has at the studio on the day.
​
Q. Is there an age limit?
A. There is no strict age limit on any of our sessions. We try to focus on development stage rather than age. As a general guide, the 10:30am session is pitched for nursery and reception aged children (3-5) but younger and older kids are more than welcome if you think they would enjoy it!
