Are you a parent/carer looking for a music class or an Early Years Practitioner looking for music ideas and resources to use in your setting?

Here you will find all that Trafford Music Service offers to support our youngest children in Trafford. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please email music.service@trafford.gov.uk

    • For children aged 0–4 years and their parents or carers, sessions take place on Wednesdays from 10:30 to 11:15 am during term time. Booking is not necessary and you can pay via card or cash on arrival. The cost is £7 per session (or £6 per session if you commit to four weeks). Free parking is available at The Claremont Centre.

    • Each session centres around a nursery rhyme and includes singing, movement, instrument play, storytelling, and ‘Signalong’ signed songs. There is also a period of free play, allowing you and your child to explore the wide range of instruments available here at Trafford Music Service. We look forward to welcoming you soon.
