Music Groups

Blueberry Playsongs Music Groups have grown from strength to strength since they began in Clapham in 1991. We can now be found in Clapham, Putney, Chelsea, Richmond, Hammersmith, Notting Hill, Barnes and Wimbledon. The classes, for children aged 9 months to 4 years, are designed to be stimulating, educational, social and most of all, really good fun! All Blueberry Playsongs groups are run by professional, talented and well-trained staff who will make your child's first exposure to music a happy one. You will find guitar-accompanied traditional nursery rhymes, action songs, jumping games, circle games, instruments and dancing.

Classes

Parent and Toddlers (9 months to 3+ years): Grown-ups participate in class through singing and guiding the little ones through the actions and a great time is had by all!

Big Kids' Blueberry (2+ to 4 years without parent/carers): Building on the tenets of the younger class, only here they're on their own! Extra games with rhythm, musical concepts, imagination and even more action.

Blueberry classes are 30 or 45-minute sessions taking place once a week over terms of up to 13 weeks. There are a variety of times and days available at each centre to suit everyone. The cost of an 11-week term is currently £60.

About Margo Random

Margo Random is the originator and driving force behind Blueberry Playsongs. She is a N.Y.- born performer/ musician with a background in the theatre and live and recorded music. Margo studied at the State University of New York and the Welsh College of Music and Drama before embarking on a career in acting and then working with her own bands in both the pop and jazz fields.

When her daughter, Abigail was born, performing took a subtle shift and babies became the focus: "Blueberry came about because I wanted to give my own daughter an early exposure to live music. I took my guitar to our playgroup one day and sang the babies some songs and found an amazingly favourable response. Blueberry Playsongs was born!"
