Baby Beat
Gentle rhythm, cuddles and first sounds
About Baby Beat
Baby Beat is all about connection. Your baby sits in your lap while live music, gentle bounces and touch games invite them to listen, look, reach and babble — at their own pace.
Best for:
In class
What we do together
Lap bounces
Rocking and bouncing to a steady beat builds early rhythm and body awareness.
Touch games
Tickles, taps and peek-a-boo songs that babies learn to anticipate week to week.
Listening moments
Live guitar and soft percussion to turn towards, track and respond to.
Sensory props
Baby-safe shakers and scarves to grasp, shake and explore.
Development
What it supports
Every activity has a purpose. Here’s what parents typically notice across a term.
Sensory exploration
Sound, touch and movement together in one safe, calm space.
Parent–child bonding
Weekly rituals you can repeat at home, from the Hello Song to lullabies.
Early sound recognition
Repetition of simple songs helps babies recognise and anticipate sounds.
First vocalisations
Call-and-response songs give babies a reason to coo, babble and “answer”.
