We Love the Music Train

My children attended Music Train until they started school. Both they and I really enjoyed the classes, which were a much anticipated part of our weekly routine. The classes are well structured and paced but, I think the thing that really makes the group special is the teacher. Hayley made all the children feel valued, she is patient, energetic and full of kind good humour. We love Hayley and the Music Train!

I Feel lucky to have met Hayley and to have gone to her classes.

We have not lived in Bude long but both of my children have attended MT and they have really enjoyed them. My eldest, whose only 3, really benefited from the classes as they were fun and they kept her attention so she really did learn. I was sad when i couldn't go anymore due to work and other commitments. My son who was only a baby at the time loves anything musical and he still remembers things from the music train especially some of the fun songs that hayley teaches. Hayley has an amazing amount of energy and lots of patience, she made me and my children feel valued and welcome in the class. I would definately recommend the MT and might even go back with my son if i can fit it in as i know he would absolutely love it !
Hayley is a real asset to the Bude community , She does far more than run MT , she is the brains, energy and enthusiasm behind many events in Bude and she raises a lot of money for local charities alongside these.

If you CAN , do the CAN CAN at the MUSIC TRAIN ! CHOO CHOO

Love it!

I have attended Music Train since classes started in Sept 2009. My daughter was then 18 months old, and we've never looked back. She has progressed through 3 different age classes, and each has been suited to her needs. Hayley is truly an inspiration to all, and is very inclusive, ensuring all the children feel special. I'm amazed at how much my daughter picks up from MT; it's not always obvious within the class setting, but when she gets home it all comes out!! I feel very lucky to have been able to share this experience with my daughter, and will be sad to see it end when she goes to school in September. Thank you Hayley x

Good for little one and mum too

My little girl loves music train - she enjoys the singing and the music, as well as the interaction with the other children. I love music train because of the quality time I get to spend with her - time well spent completely focused on her and an activity she enjoys. I've got another one on the way and can't wait to sign her up for music train too.

Highlight of our week

This is a definite weekly highlight for my three year old daughter and me. We have both gained so much from Hayley's classes which are pitched at the perfect level and manage to be fun, funny, educational, inclusive and structured all at the same time. Hayley is a wonderful teacher with a seemingly endless amount of patience and time for each child.

brilliant, educational and fun

well done Hayley! This is a well thought through programme from birth to rising five. It develops a love of music and utilises Hayley's knowledge of Psychology and Education. I love it as she gets the kids left and right sides of the brain working together which research has shown will help them to learn in the future. My three kids love it!!

Brought music to my whole family!!

Since starting Music Train with my youngest son when he was around 2 years old, we have hardly missed a session. He looks forwards to his Tuesday session and has a knowledge of rhythm, instruments and singing that I would never had imagined possible. He has learnt through progression development tailored purely for his age group. Hayley tailors each of her sessions to the age group and appropriate learning in maintained throughout. Alongside her bubbly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable personality, she has a very real passion for her teaching and that shines through in each class.
My son starts school in September and I will be genuinely sorry to see our lovely musical adventure together ending. As one door closes another one opens I guess, and through another of Hayley's contacts my sons have the opportunity to carry on their musical journey with their school having just acquired their very own choir master.
Music is now very much part of our family again, thanks to Hayley and her wonderful business. Thanks for bringing it our way.

music train is great

My little boy and I have been attending Hayley's class for over 2 years now and we both love it. I have not found any other music group where it is split by age so is tailored to development. My little boy looks forward to each class and loves Hayley. He enjoys music too and loves playing the variety of instruments which Hayley brings into the class. Hayley is so full of enthusiasm and is always cheerful. The Bude Toy and Clothes swap which she has arranged for the past 2 years has been such a success - she is a true asset to the community

A wonderful music experience for babies and children

We have been participating in Music Train classes since my son was 6 months old, and we are so pleased we joined. The experience Hayley gives to the children is priceless, children love it and they instantly fall in love with her. Hayley's bubbly personality and kindness shine through in her classes, which children absorb and recognise. It has been amazing to watch my son fall in love with music and have the confidence to sing along to any tune. At 2 he can recognise most instruments and can sing up and down a scale! Any parent would enjoy watching their little one find such pleasure from this wonderful class, and it's quite nice for the grown-ups to have a singalong too. Hayler offers a variety of classes for different age groups. Thank you Music Train !!

Hayley from the music Train does so much for Bude Parents community

I just wanted to write this review to say thank you to Hayley.

I’m not sure if everyone knows this but Hayley the owner of the music train group in Bude doesn’t just teach her fab lessons but also organizes events for the local community as well as raising money for children charities.

Last year she was one of the main organizers Bude clothes & toy swap which was very successful and loved by many of the families.
Well this year she is organizing it completely on her own and it is said to be bigger and better then last year. This Year raising money for two worthy charities - Sound Waves South West who help the bereaved and disabled through music therapy in Bude. The other charity is Sands (The stillbirth and neonatal death).

An Event not to be missed taking place this Thursday 1st of Dec 2011 at the Parkhouse centre. Starts @ 7.30pm. The Event has already raised £400.00 through raffle sales and hasn’t taken place let!

Not only is Hayley organizing the swap but is also one of the main organizers of North Cornwall Toddler & Baby Fair along with Nought 2 Four, which is taking place at the Parkhouse centre April 28th 2012.The event is bringing many independent traders and award winning companies to Bude.

I know I’m not the only person who thinks Hayley is an asset to the local community but unfortunately these people are some times missed as they are to modest to blow there own horns (pardon the pun)
So i thought i make every one in Bude aware of Everything Hayley does.

Fab work Hayley Cant wait for your Next project.
