Meet Your Class Leader
Hi, I’m Emma and have been running Caterpillar Music in and across Liverpool and Crosby since 2015.
I have two not-so-little Caterpillars of my own. I love all things musical and am learning to play the piano with my children – something I have always wanted to do
When my children were babies, I took them to lots of different classes and I always thought how amazing it would be to run music classes for little ones for a living. My previous job was in HR so was completely different, however I had always loved music and children, and after my maternity leave, I was looking for a career change. When the opportunity came up to take over an existing franchise in my area, I thought it would do no harm to make enquiries to see if it would be feasible. The rest is history! I took over the Caterpillar Music classes in my area in January 2015 (whilst still working in my part-time HR job) with just 4 small classes. Later that year I took the plunge and left my old job to run classes full-time, and I have never looked back! I now run 10 classes and two nursery sessions every week.
It is so hard to pick what I love best about Caterpillar Music as there is so much. I love developing a rapport with each child – finding out which is their favourite song, instrument, animal puppet etc. I’m so lucky that many customers come from small babies right up until they leave for school, so I get to see them grow and develop into little people. I am so privileged to have a weekly slot in their lives and witnessing all the many things they learn and the enjoyment they get from music.
Caterpillar Music classes are all about fun and enjoyment as that is how little ones learn best. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed. The children all have their own different personalities and so enjoy the classes in their own way – some take to the centre of the floor and don’t stop dancing from start to finish; some watch mesmerised taking everything in; some wander around exploring their surroundings watching from afar.
The classes have the same format each week and it is amazing to see the children (even young babies) get used to the flow of the class and getting excited because they know what is coming next. Whilst the children love the element of repetition, each week we follow a different theme so there is a wide variety of songs, puppets and props we will use in each session. Our classes can also be a great opportunity for parents, grandparents and carers to get out and spend quality time with their little ones and even meet other parents and carers. As well as seeing the children develop during classes it has also been lovely to see many friendships grow between families who come along to Caterpillar Music.
