Why Jump & Jive?
Jump & Jive activities stimulate lasting well-being around what it means to connect, create and communicate through music.
Imagination ignites. Creativity skyrockets! Personality shines!
Every child’s experience is unique to their personality. The connection between intentional and unintentional learning creates the “meaningful magic” – and the fun!
Every child can find their ‘flow’!
Regular participation supports a safe and familiar environment where connection, creativity and confidence can flourish.
Jump & Jive inspires self-confident, enthusiastic, creative hearts and many fun, meaningful moments and musical minds along the way!
What is Jump & Jive?
A joyful introduction to music allows children to develop knowledge and awareness through emotion, a sense of wonder, motivation, imagination, creativity, passion, curiosity, expressive sensitivity, friendship, joy and unforgettable good feelings!
Exciting props, instruments, dynamic play and basic music concepts mixed with development themes, styles & moods, catchy melodies, interesting rhythms and grooves, relatable lyrics with emotional impact, high quality, captivating and engaging energy ⚡️
We grow with them and from them! Musical “nutrients” add depth to “their” voice, emotions, body and ideas. The patterns in music, repetition of sounds and syllables enhance language development, memory, attention, reason and logic.
We provide a multi-sensory, aesthetically rich, easy-going, cohesive environment where every child’s unique personality and contribution is valued. It’s fun!

BLAST OFF
Confidence, courage, self-expression, mental and physical endurance grows as their “musical nutrients” add depth to “their” voice, emotions, body and ideas.
Rhythmic competence grows inspiring more complex motor skills and mastering movement patterns.
Social-emotional skills are like a superpower these days and we supercharge them!
Abstract emotions feel real and relatable in ways they might not otherwise engage with.
Exciting props project meaning as shared thinking, dress ups, musical games and adventures give flight to their imagination, humour, negotiation skills,
fair play and empathy.
Resilience, determination and persistence are empowered using various themes and props. Lots of creative activities and energetic movement – We jump, skip, hop, twirl, bend, twist, spin, sway, glide, catch, throw, balance, crawl, kick, leap, stomp, run on the spot or tiptoe! Confidence, coordination, cooperation and capability increases. Musical sensitivity, beat and rhythm are refined using percussion instruments, props, creativity with characters, body percussion activities and shared singing. Active- musical-story-telling inherently stimulates imagination and creativity drawing on lyrics, melody, rhythm, shared emotions and ideas. Improvisation, cooperative role play, feelings, voice, tension, focus and self-expression is joyfully explored. Spontaneity, poise, artistic expression, intuition, courage and creation motivates abstract thinking, along with relationships and emotions in themselves and each other.
It’s always interesting, dynamic and fabulous fun!
Leadership personalities are nurtured, the courage in kindness is rewarded, camaraderie forges into friendship and self-esteem soars!
