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.

    What My Happy Customers Are Saying 

    • I've been taking my little boy to Caterpillar Music for 5 months now. Emma is brilliant and I enjoy it as much as my little one does. I really love that the classes are themed and Emma is great at selecting songs and activities that get all the little ones engaged even from only a few months old.

    • Me and my little girl have really enjoyed our sessions. We started in the baby classes and we have moved up to the older sessions now. Emma has took the time to really get to know my little girl and celebrates the little moments as we go along. I feel like my little girl gets so much out of each session musically, socially and personally. The session follows a certain routine which sometimes is adapted to suit the time of the year or theme, Christmas is so magical. Emma always puts the wellbeing of the children first and ensures the activities are well suited to their needs. Each part of each session is so thought out.

    • I’ve been taking my baby to Emma’s classes for 4 months now and we absolute love them! The atmosphere is super relaxed and a perfect balance of activity vs chill. There’s lots of space and Elsie adores Emma and instantly felt at ease with her. Emma makes such an effort to remember all the babies names and give them their own time and attention. It’s just fab and a highlight of our week!

      Holly

    • My little one absolutely loves his weekly music classes with Emma! We’ve been coming since he was around 10 weeks old and since then he’s came on so much because of them- from improved focus, engagement and exploring things and he even has his own little favourite songs now from classes. We have to add these to a playlist for him at home. Emma is amazing and my little one never takes his eyes off her. Every week is a different theme which you can dress up for and the resources each week always match perfectly. We love coming to class and will carry on doing so as my little boy gets bigger!! Thank you Emma x

    • I've been taking my son to this class for a while now and it's absolutely fantastic. Emma is brilliant with them all and she creates such a lovely, warm, welcoming environment for both the parents and the kids. She is also really inclusive of any additional needs and really goes out of her way to cater to those needs. We love Emma and the class!! Highly recommend!

      Kerris

    • Emma has an excellent way of engaging with the babies and toddlers and my daughter, Felicity, looks forward to her Wednesday mornings with Emma! X

      Lucy

    • Emma is an amazing class leader and both my children have loved attending her classes since they were small babies. I would highly recommend this class to anyone with babies and toddlers.

      Claire

    • My daughter absolutely loves Emma's classes and so do I! It brightens up our week and we have lots of fun!

      Chloe

    • Emma's Caterpillar Music class is a much loved part of our family weekly routine. Every week is a different theme that keeps all children engaged. Emma knows every child individually and sings their names as part of the class. Her enthusiasm and passion never wavers and she always takes time out to welcome new families to her classes. Puppets, songs, instruments, parachutes, the classes are packed with fun and joy from start to finish. I can't recommend the classes enough.

      Kate

    • I’ve attended Emma’s classes over the past 6 years with my 2 daughters and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a baby/toddler class in the local area.
      Emma is the perfect person for this role. Really friendly, warm and personable. Every week the classes are fun and different and she makes a huge effort to involve all of the children. Me and my daughters have also made lovely friendships since coming to Emma’s class and will really miss our Wednesday's when my youngest starts school this year.
