"It's been great to see Henry develop through the classes. We started before he could walk and now he loves running around and joining in all the songs. He loves singing along with the CD at home and showing his daddy the actions too!!"

Mish Mash is just wonderful fun, cannot recommend it highly enough. I wish I'd found it with my eldest! Started classes with my now 2.5 yo when he was only just sitting up. He loves going to the group, it is the highlight of our week. Ruth is warm and nurturing, and makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed - even if you are having "one if those days" with you little one. A great fun class, lots of moving about, instruments galore that I have never found at any other playgroups, and the children are encouraged to get involved in everything. Try it!!!"

Ruth is such a great singer and songwriter and her classes are the highlight of our week! We are excited to start our second term"

"Mish Mash Music is brilliant! Ruth is a great musician and wonderful with children. I love the classes because Ruth plays a variety of instruments rather than using a CD, and the children have the opportunity to try out lots of instruments themselves. The songs are catchy and my daughter loves it when I sing them at home! I cannot recommend this class highly enough."

"The long term impact on Jamie is really interesting in terms of his rhythmic ability, ear for music and fascination with drums!! This is definitely attributable to your combination of music, rhythm and fun!"

"Mish Mash is truly a very special music group and those kids who come along are very lucky to benefit from your creativity, energy and patience Ruth."

While only one of our children, our youngest (2,5 years), attends Mish Mash, the whole family benefits from the class. My daughters (aged 6 and 9) love the songs we have been singing, too. We listen to them every time we're driving somewhere. They are great songs and nice alternatives to the traditional ones our kids have been learning at home or in nurseries. Ruth's voice is beautiful and I love the way she is able to use special instruments and things of everyday use to make each song a lively story. Also the way she engages the children is amazing. Thank you, Ruth, for such a wonderful class!”."

I’m gutted that Mish Mash is coming to an end. The girls are just flourishing and loving every magical class so much. They couldn’t have had a better teacher to introduce them to the joy of music - thank you!

A "must do" class for little ones of different ages: "
I have been taking my children to Mish Mash Music for 2.5 years. They are different ages and have both loved the classes and the relaxed style Ruth has in the sessions. I have made lots of friends in the classes and the CD of songs Ruth gives each term mean my children are always asking to “sing Mish Mash” in the car. When friends ask about local classes that are a “must do” with their babies, I always tell them to go to Mish Mash as I enjoy it as much as the kids do!

Ruth makes room for free spirited little ones:
"
Mish Mash music run by the lovely Ruth is the most free spirited, lively class I've ever done with my children. Not only are all the songs original (no more flippin' wheels on the bus thank you very much) but the range of instruments, sounds and rhythms the children are introduced to is huge. The classes are never quite the same but there's enough repetition to make it easy for the kids to join in and feel familiar with the material. And if your child, like my son, wants to do their own thing that's fine too - probably the nicest thing about Ruth is the way she makes room for everyone. She doesn't just pretend that the raucous, disruptive kid isn't there, but brings them into the mix so that they feel they have something to offer, making the most of everybody's differences and quirks so that the class is truly a wonderful, messy mish mash. love it

A relaxed, fun class, even when you bring twins!
"
This is the best music class I've attended with my toddler twins, it is fun, creative, friendly and best of all relaxed...which makes life so much easier when you have two! Ruth has so much energy and is so invested in making sure that it is a great space for; being immersed in everything musical, having a great time with your babies and making new friends.

The soundtrack to my children's childhood
"
Mish Mash Music is such a good class for little ones. I have brought all 3 of my children to this class and so it has been part of my weekly schedule for about 6 years! Ruth's voice is the soundtrack my childrens childhood. The songs, her energy, all the various musical instruments, the CD's for the car, the welcoming, relaxed feel to her class.. I couldn't recommend these classes enough.

The best baby/toddler class I've been to! Ruth is friendly & welcoming letting the little ones enjoy the class in whatever way suits them on the day so you feel relaxed. Great variety of instruments & songs which my daughter loves. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Mish Mash Music has been my favourite music class that I have ever been to and as a Nanny with 25 years of experience I have tried a few. Ruth is such a warm, welcoming and fun music teacher and really brings something different to the classes. As well playing many instruments and encouraging the children to do so as well she has lots of fun and new songs that the children will come to love. Even now Lily has gone to nursery she still sings the songs with lots of fond memories. I would recommend these fun classes to anyone in St Albans."

What a lovely music class! Ruth is fantastic and keeps every single child and baby truly entertained and engaged until the very last second of the class. We love the live music and singing along with various instruments. A truly magical time for the whole family! Highly recommended!
