We are an evolving Music Education organisation run by musician, qualified teacher and early years specialist Jenny Milway.
Through Musical Miniatures, and Musical Giants, our aim is to provide a pathway from birth to KS2 allowing your little ones to develop their skills continually over time, becoming healthier, more confident, able learners alongside becoming more accomplished musicians.
It’s not all for the children! The health benefits of singing have been well documented, if you do find some time to fill your own cups, then our adult choir – ‘Leytonstone voices’, could be just what you’re looking for.
Musical Miniatures – Our Musical Miniatures classes are interactive sessions full of music and imagination for 0-5yr olds. Jenny performs on a range of woodwind instruments along with her ukulele, with the aim that classes are enjoyable for both your little ones and their grown ups!
Age: 0-5 yrs
Location: Leytonstone Methodist Church
Musical Giants – Our after school sessions concentrate on initial musical development, working imaginatively with pulse, rhythm and pitch using both Kodály and Dalcoze methodology. The teaching is designed to make learning fun within a structured environment, and there are lots of opportunities for music and movement, alongside solo, pair and group singing. There is a password protected parent area to support learning at home.

Leytonstone Voices Whether it is because your inner diva is ready to come out? Or you’re simply looking for an outlet to help fill your cup with something joyful and mood enhancing? Leytonstone voices has a chair waiting with your name on it. The adult choir is for anyone who loves to sing regardless of experience or ability – All you need is some enthusiasm.

MM Shop – Do visit our Musical Miniatures shop where you will not only find lots of the Puppets and instruments that we use in out live and online classes, but also gift vouchers for both our online and live classes. Orders are done via e-mail, and or stock can also be purchased at our ‘pop-up’ shops which happen each term at our Musical Miniatures and Musical Giants classes.
Parent’s area – To extend our Musical fun beyond the ‘classroom’, this area includes links to a range of resources to support your musical development at home. Be it dancing to music we’ve heard in classes, watching and singing along as I perform my favourite song/rhyme of the week, or gaining inspiration from our Music@home area.
I have also created ‘Our Guide’ to provide quick access to information to help plan some great activities/days out in East London and beyond. Whether you’re a family who may be new to East London, new parents, or parents who just don’t seem to have enough hours in the day, I hope you find the guide useful!
