Children’s Music

Eliška Palfreyman (Ellie) has been running her own bespoke music classes known as ‘Sing With Ellie’ for children aged 0-5 since 2012. She has collaborated with nurseries in London, Kent and Sussex.

“I love sharing my passion for music with children,” says Ellie. “Showing them the joy that music can bring is very important, as I believe music has a truly healing effect on every soul, young or not so young. All my music sessions have one thing in common: the music is always live. I aim to introduce children to music in a simple and friendly way, yet I like to challenge them. How else are we to find the next Beethoven, Mozart or perhaps even Jimi Hendrix?

Ellie has released an interactive musical book entitled ‘Morning, Noon & Night’ in cooperation with app maker Eric Wroolie (Overpass). This app offers nine different stories, accompanied by Ellie’s original songs and beautiful illustrations by Katerina Mrhalova. This educational interactive book can be downloaded for both Apple and Android devices.

“Writing my own songs for children is fun. The child within me tells me what to write about. Folk and rock’n’roll music both influence my songwriting. I like to go beyond the traditional nursery rhyme structure and expose children to slightly more complicated melodies and rhythmic changes. Their clever ears can take it all in. It gives me a joyful feeling when they want to hear my own songs, remember my lyrics and dance to my music. I am in the process of recording my debut album, which will be packed with many fun and educational songs.”
