What is Musical Parenting?

It’s a special sharing of discovery between parent and child. Just as children benefit from a creative music programme, adults can share this joy and reawaken the child within.

Through musical play, children discover the elements of music and develop essential skills. It’s a journey of play, music and nurturing for both the adult and the child.

The Canterbury Musical Parenting Association is a group of parents, teachers, grandparents, caregivers, anyone wishing to foster creativity and musical confidence in children.

Our challenge is to develop a comprehensive programme of music that challenges and inspires our children to listen, move, sing, create & appreciate music of all kinds & to listen to the sounds of nature with sensitivity and wonder.
