Want to know one of Glasgow Southside’s best-kept secrets?
Over the past 18 years, children from 0-5 years have been enjoying Cochiti Kids—an entertaining, relaxing and educational music class. Children (as well as mothers, fathers, grandparents and carers!) love its unique programme of songs, poems and simple dances from around the world. Each week, an hour of musical activities is followed by an hour of socialising (with refreshments provided) in a spacious, comfortable hall.
Children choose from an extensive collection of percussion instruments to play in a band with Kris on saxophone, guitar and violin. Even young babies benefit from the live music, gentle movement, and the visual stimulation of colourful puppets and props. The small-group sessions are lively and imaginative, and the atmosphere is very friendly, making it a great place to foster a love of music.
Check out what some of our regulars have said about Cochiti Kids sessions!
“My sons really love this class. It's brilliant that they get exposure to so many different musical instruments and that there are opportunities to run, jump, march and dance. A lovely variety of music too.”
“Family day with Kris, as with all her sessions, is creative, dynamic, engaging and provides a great opportunity to do something meaningful together as a family - with refreshments thrown in.”
“If you're looking for a fun, sociable, and educational activity for your wee one then look no further.”
You can enrol for either Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning classes, which run at the Shawlands United Reformed Church Hall by contacting Kris on 07800975426 or at [email protected].
