"A Big Voice provided a super interactive 'Tunes for Toddlers and Tiddlers' stage session as part of a varied programme of demonstrations in the Buckinghamshire County Council marquee at the Bucks County Show on 1 September 2011. The parents and children obviously enjoyed the opportunity to join in with some well known songs and all soon got the hang of the actions. We would like to thank Maria for coming and bringing her enthusiastic approach to singing to the show. Just wanted to say thank you very much for joining us. It was a great success and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
Best regards".

I went along today for the first time with my 8 month old twins and the session was absolutely fantastic! Both my little ones loved it and were thoroughly entertained for the entire hour session. Maria who runs the session was very friendly and made everyone feel very welcome. We can't wait to go along again next week! -

My little girl really enjoys these sessions and Maria is great fun. We'll really miss going when I return to work.

I went along today to the session with my youngest daughter who is coming up to 8 months old. I was recommended by some friends who had been before and rated the session but after having a wierd and unfriendly experience years ago at a different music group with my oldest daughter i was a little reserved with this one.
I have to say that from walking into the hall, Maria was friendly and instantly put me at ease. There were smiles from everyone waiting in anticipation and no one seemed to be disappointed at the end. I was a little reluctant initially but was pleasently surprised at how much my daughter enjoyed it and beamed with squeals and seemed to want to stay long after we had 'calming down music time' - I would throughly recommend this to anyone as I really enjoyed it and can not wait to go back next week.

I have been attending these classes since my daughter was a baby, she is now two and still enjoys dancing and singing along. A good mixture of songs are used each week so you don’t get fed up of the same old songs. Props are also used to keep the kids interested.
An enjoyable group.
*June 2011 Sally Bowes says:
FANTASTIC group. You really do get so much more for your money, rather than some of the other music groups which just play music. Maria is so enthusiastic all the children love her and are engaged throughout the entire session. My daughter has loved going since she was born. She is now over 2 and loves joining in with the now-familiar songs and dancing away! Educational as well as fun - highly recommend this group to any mums in the area.
*May 2011 Katie Thorpe says:
My son, Marcus and I have been going to Tunes for Toddlers since he was 9 weeks old and he is now 2! As a working mum this is the activity I look forward most to doing with my little boy on my day off. We love the journey through the world of music, exploring sensory awareness with a mixture of high energy action songs and softer more relaxing ones. Maria offers a unique and professional service which is a worthy experience for both parent and child. The new location is ideal: good sized, safe hall with free parking!
*April 2011 Francesca says:
I took my daughter to this group from when she was 3 months, until recently when she just turned 1. I was upset to stop coming, but had to go back to work and had no choice. I loved this group. I attended the second 'baby' session which was lovely as it was aimed mostly at small babies and you werent too worried about toddlers standing on them. Use of bubbles, lots of toys and different stimulus such as feathers meant my daughter was permanently entertained. Marie is full of life and enthusiasm every week and really loves, and has a passion, for doing these classes. She gives thoughtful tips on how to communicate with your baby from birth to help aid baby bonding, speech and rhythmn. The latest venue is great too - the Church of the good shepherd is lovely and big to spread out if need be, with a comfy sofa area, play area, kitchen and toilets. Free parking too, which is always good. If you want to go to a good music class, I highly recommend you try this one.

Excellent Group. Have been coming with my son for nearly 18 months. We both really enjoy it and he's really developing a love for music as a result. Even though he's not 20 months old yet, he can already sing simple melodies and loves to dance as a result of the these classes.
It's a great blend of singing and activities that encourages interaction between parent and child that not only teaches the child about music but benefits their development in many other ways also.
There are even a few Dads there to keep me company.
*September 2010 Debbie says:
My son and I have been attending this class since he was 8 weeks old and he is now 11 months. It is great fun for both of us and he loves the different songs and playing with the other babies. Maria teaches us great ways to bond with our child through music and makes sure they have fun with the different actions, bubbles, instruments, etc. A must for Mums and Dads in the Aylesbury area.

RECOMMENDATION: For Mum/dads with little ones. A Friendly and relaxed group, great for getting you involved and bonding with your little one. I've made some great friends for myself and my little boy. I started going when he was around 4 months and we are still going now over a year later.
