About Music Shakers

---

With several years experience in music education, Music Shakers provides music and movement classes for infants and young children to families. Founded in the UK in 2006, the organisation offers weekly classes in Moseley and Kings Heath, Birmingham.

Enabling families to share the joy of music and dance throughout the year, the teachers provide families with tailored classes attuned to the developmental needs of young children. With an inviting and comfortable classroom to sing and play along with an experienced teacher, the classes are designed to be relaxing and enjoyable. Parents have the opportunity to make new friends and socialise, with complimentary refreshments provided after class.

Music Shakers classes were designed by Marcella Erskine, who has taught music classes for ten years. She obtained her Master’s degree in Social Work from Hunter College, New York, where she specialised in group and community work. Marcella trained in dance at Colorado State University while obtaining a B. Sc. In Psychology, and has sung in choirs in Denver, and taught Denver Cooperative Preschool. She has provided music workshops to a variety of playgroups, nurseries and primary schools in Birmingham and participated in several early childhood music workshops. Marcella recruited new teachers including Fiona Howe and Sarah Baker, both of whom trained at the Conservatoire.
