I have had a fab experience to date. I feel like I have been welcomed into a very exciting world.
I have had a great time setting up and starting the sessions. The Material is addictive and I love learning the sessions.
I have had all the help I have needed and I dont think being pro is a requirement here. Being keen and happy to be a session leader with Babies, Children and their Mummies / Daddies is what its all about. If you love to sing and love the music then your there!
The Material is easy to learn and catchy. My daughter loves helping me learn the sessions whilst in the car. I have been working my way through the sessions slowly and allowed time to see other session leaders in action, ( which really helps).
The Scripts are informative and very well put together and you get all the music and songs via a simple intranet download which I then put onto my Ipod.
I have started with Baby Bells and Baby Beeps classes and In the Summer I start Happy House classes.
Sarah has always been there to offer plenty of advice and so have other Session leaders. I even asked Sarah to sing a song on the phone once and that was Brill!
Hartbeeps is unique! No other music session is like it . Its well developed, creative and MAGICAL. The developmental side of things makes it very special.

Summer Summer!
Never have I been so grateful to the dreadful weather we have had this August! At least my Taster sessions were well attended.
I am now in the midst of promoting the sessions. Mothercare, a festival and a Park fun day..The Toy Hospital was literally flooded. Sarah and I had a soggy but captive audience (even the elderly couple who were out innocently walking their dog found themselves trapped in the crowd, waiting for the rain to stop they were slightly amused by the Hart beeps version of Humpty Dumpty.)
Setting up taster sessions has been my main objective. I started the summer with a plan to set up open sessions in Marlow and Tylers Green. Now that's happened I am discovering that at every step I am learning and finding ways to do things that will really help in future set ups. Printing Flyers and getting out and about with my Daughter has been a wonderful way to network. Even in the park I hand out flyers, desperate to let people know about my new exciting music sessions that I know they will LOVE!
Meanwhile Scarlett is swinging round a pole singing twinkle twinkle!!!
Learning the sessions is now getting a lot easier. Since I started Hartbeeps I have just been running Baby Bells and Baby Beeps. I now have a template that works for me in terms of learning a session. Each session has a ritual at the beginning and the end of the session. Once this is under your belt all I needed to do was learn the sound journey for each new session. Happy House sessions are about to begin and its refreshing to have such a diverse and varied amount of sessions to learn and lead. It keeps the delivery fresh and challenges the performer in me to adapt to certain situations. (and oh how the children LOVE TATTY CAT.) Happy Feet is a brilliant session but really could have done with the Health warning there Yadies, as I dont think my fitness levels helped. To say I was out of breath was an understatement!!!!
A few of the babes and their Mummies have graduated from baby bells to baby beeps this summer. Its so fulfilling to see them grow with Hartbeeps as I am.
Finally, I have put my club card points to good use - to buy a shed which my fab hubby has put up for me in the Garden! (see photo)
My very own HAPPY HOUSE.
Here we go with the Autumn. I hope that September and the next term brings more sessions in my Hartbeeps Land. I adore the sessions and love telling people about it. Hartbeeps Parties will also be added to my agenda this month. One of which I have been asked to dress up as a Fairy! (ugh oh!!!!)
