Tiny hands, tiny voices
We’re delighted to introduce something special to Little Musicas: baby and toddler sessions that combine the magic of music, movement and sign language.

For:
Babies, toddlers and their grown-ups
Format:
Music, movement, signs and song
Facilitators:
Susie Butler and Miriam Ball
Location:
Musica Fusion, Charleville
Communicate through play
Baby sign language uses simple signs to help babies express needs before they can talk. Familiar signs such as milk, more, eat and all done give little ones a way to communicate and connect without frustration.
Paired with rhythm and repetition, signs become memorable and naturally fit into songs, movement and instrument play.
Classes are led by Susie Butler, Principal of Musica Fusion and creator of the Little Musicas programmes, together with Performing Arts and Dance teacher Miriam Ball. Miriam has completed several courses in Irish Sign Language and brings expressive, inclusive learning into every session.
Why music and signs work together
Each part of the session supports early development while creating meaningful time together.
Rhythm & repetition
Songs are rhythmic, repetitive and engaging, helping new signs stick in little minds.
Memory & coordination
Signing supports attention, memory and coordination while music keeps the experience lively.
Shared communication
Signing and singing together creates a warm, meaningful connection between grown-up and child.
Instruments & movement
Classes are filled with songs, instruments, movement and laughter, so learning happens naturally.
