Welcome to Maraca Jacks!! Maraca Jacks has been the leading provider of Children’s music and movement sessions in the local area since 1994! Our weekly workshops give Babies, Pre-Schoolers and their Parents/Carers the opportunity to join in music, singing and playing simple percussion instruments. Sessions are written around a weekly theme that could be anything from Big Bad Pirates to Beautiful Butterflies! We use Puppets, other colourful props and books and provide age appropriate instruments for the Children to explore. Active music making can have incredible benefits as well as being thoroughly enjoyable! Whilst having fun, the Children are also learning and developing life skills, including socialising, communicating, co-ordination and lots and lots of creativity! We can also provide entertainment at Birthday Parties and other special events and can tailor the theme and include personal favourites! Our new Jumping Jacks Parties are also proving popular with older children, combining dancing and funky games to pop music! Research by Educational Psychologists ha concluded that music play in early years is a strong motivator which encourages children to develop new skills and, it is thought, helps a child to make progress in reading and mathematics.
