Workshops for Under-5s

Interactive workshops introducing under-5s to the world of music-making.

Interactive, creative and fun, our ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’ music workshops for under-5s are a great way to introduce little ones to the world of music-making. Move and grove along to new sounds and songs, and get up close to the instruments of the orchestra.

Workshop sessions take place on Monday mornings at LSO St Luke’s, with separate sessions for children aged 18 months and under, 3 years and under, and 5 years and under. Workshops take place in termly blocks – roughly September to November, January to March, and April to July.

What To Expect

  • Ten workshop sessions in one term
  • Individual attention for each child, as well as whole group activities, with no more that 15 family groups per workshop
  • Activities to facilitate creativity, expression, connection and parental bonding

Cost per term: £120

‘It was great to have music and singing as a support for the early months of parenthood. The songs we learned together have become an important part of our daily life.’ – Summer 2019 participant

‘[The sessions had] a huge impact on our wellbeing – they started our week off in such a joyful way. It was an important time for both of us.’ – Summer 2020 online participant
