Hello!
During the Covid-19 crisis we have been delivering lovely classes via Live Stream. For the Autumn term we are getting back to live classes – but maintaining some live-streamed too. This flexible approach will allow for all eventualities – are you ready? We certainly are!
I’m Margaret and lead the team running Musical Bumps in the Tonbridge & Sevenoaks areas. I launched the classes in Tonbridge in 2007, after a career as an Event Coordinator at the Royal Festival Hall and Barbican Centre. I’ve been involved with music all my life – singing in choirs and playing the flute. After a (lengthy!) pause to stay at home with my three lovely children I was ready to face a new challenge when returned to work! I had taken my own children to music groups but I knew the format and progression of Musical Bumps classes together with a social time within the class was perfect.
I’m very lucky to have a wonderful team of teachers working regularly with me: Kate Kowal, Kirsty Black, Jo Brown and Lisa Stevens. None of us could manage without amazing Kate Shorten running the office! As you can see from our timetable below we have lots of classes to choose from. We also enjoy working with local nurseries and schools in the area and can usually be persuaded to run birthday parties too! To try out a class please get in touch to arrange a good day to visit for a free trial and meet the teacher.
To keep up with the latest news, go to our social media tab and join us on Facebook (both our ‘page’ and Group for families), Twitter and Instagram!
Whilst we are limiting class sizes substantially at this time, unfortunately we are not able to offer trial sessions at every class.
It is possible, however, to book a trial class for a small one-off fee. Please click on the timetable tab (above) to see the classes on offer either phone us on 07736 244142 or complete this form to book your trial class.
Bookings for classes in Tonbridge, Hildenborough and Sevenoaks are all managed through ClassForKids.
CLICK HERE to join our closed facebook group (which is just for Musical Bumps families) to keep up to date and get all our news straight away!
During Summer 2020 we will be running some free ‘Pop-up’ sessions and themed bookable parties. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!
