Testimonials'

Concerteenies provide high quality musical experiences from classical, contemporary, and pop to folk and jazz. Polly and her team are great at engaging both children and parents in the session through a mix of stories, music, and sensory experiences. I found the company to be very professional and highly skilled at what they do. The session was well organised, and we received some lovely feedback from the families that attended:

“Beautiful storytelling, babies were mesmerised.”

“Beautifully talented musicians entertaining the babies and maintaining their attention perfectly. Amazing setting with very friendly staff.”

“Really, really lovely session – enjoyed the music – both me and my baby. One of the best sessions we’ve been to.”

Grimm & Co very much look forward to working with Concerteenies again in the near future.

Recently we had a visit form Concerteenies. They performed a musical version of the story ‘The Dinosaur Department Store’. The children loved listening to the story, joining in with the actions and finding out a little about the cello. The performance was well prepared and delivered beautifully. In advance we were able to learn the songs and watch an online version. This meant that children were well prepared for the visit. I loved that there are online supports for children with SEND so that they know what to expect. On the day, one child was very anxious and members of the team were happy to meet him and talk him through what would happen – this meant he could enjoy the performance with his peers. This was a lovely experience for our F2 and Year 1 children.
