About
Meet Ali
Hello! My name is Ali and I am a qualified primary teacher, early years music specialist, and mum of two lovely daughters. I have a passion for all things music!
A lifelong love of music
I have always loved music and I grew up in a family where music was always playing, whether it was jazz, classical or folk tunes. I have enjoyed dance and drama over the years, taken part in plays and shows, and now sing in a choir. Music has always been a big part of my life.
Inspired by my own children
When my two children were little, I joined a local music class and noticed how much they tuned in to the experience and how much it helped their development and self-confidence whilst they were having so much fun.
My Experience
In 2006 I trained with Kindermusik, an international music and movement programme, and started my own music classes, which I ran successfully for 17 years in Surrey. It was a privilege to get to know so many families during this time and to see how much the children responded to music and how it inspired their confidence and creativity.
Creating Boppity Bunnies
Now we have returned to Norfolk, I am delighted to have created my own unique classes, Boppity Bunnies Music.
My goal is to create wonderful musical experiences for families to enjoy together during these precious early years.

Meet Lindsay
Lindsay is also a Primary School Teacher and Mum of two and teaches our Monday classes. She loves getting to know each child in class and watching their curiosity blossom as they explore and experiment with different instruments and props, becoming little musicians. She enjoys watching them grow in confidence as they learn the songs and routines. Her own children also love learning all the songs from our classes!
Benefits of music
Music is a great medium for learning. One of the biggest benefits is boosting self-esteem (this works for adults too!).
