Jolly Melodies | Laura May

Hello and welcome! I’m Laura, owner and class leader of The Jolly Melodies Music Company in Wells and Shepton Mallet. I offer friendly and relaxed sessions 5 mornings a week, which are fully inclusive and welcoming. Group sizes are kept small so that I can get to know everyone personally and meet individual needs.
We dance, sing and play our way through 30 minutes of musical fun, with plenty of sensory props, Makaton signing and percussion instruments. You’ll recognise many traditional rhymes, but also enjoy learning new songs, which are unique to Jolly Melodies and quickly become part of your everyday routines.
As an experienced primary school teacher, I first fell in love with Jolly Melodies when attending with my own daughter. I was thrilled to have the opportunity to run sessions since 2019. I absolutely love my job – my mornings are filled with fun, laughter, singing and music making – and I can’t wait to welcome you to a class!

About My Classes

Jolly Babies (from birth – walking)

A special 30 minutes of quality time with your little one, and a chance to meet other local parents. We sing songs designed to support your baby’s development and celebrate every milestone they reach on their journey. There are always fun props and toys to explore, plus sensory parachutes, bubbles, cuddles, bouncing, and play ideas that you can use at home. Sessions are relaxed,  and you will be supported if you need to feed or soothe baby. Equipment is cleaned after every session, so you can relax and enjoy the special moments.

Jolly Toddlers (15 months – school age)

Toddlers love to move, so these sessions are full of action songs and movement and are based on fun themes that change every 6 weeks. We use props, toys, puppets, parachutes and instruments to make the most of every learning opportunity. There is a strong focus on independence, confidence, social skills and language development. We also make time for listening, cuddles and bubbles, exposing your little ones to many different music genres and instilling a love of music.

Jolly Independent (3 and 4 year olds)

These special classes are often based around stories or famous pieces of classical music and are designed to extend the children’s understanding of musical concepts, such as high and low sounds, or playing fast and slow. There are still ample opportunities for fun with props, parachutes and instruments, with a focus on collaboration and following instructions – the perfect preparation for school starters.

Friendly and fun classes, designed to support speaking, listening and social skills in babies and young children.
