What people say about Live The Beat

"The children at our nursery thoroughly enjoy their weekly music class with Amanda, she keeps them engaged throughout the entire session and has a variety of experiences for them to take part in.
 
Amanda makes the whole session so fun and upbeat, the children cannot stop smiling as they are taking part. The children have even been pretending to be "Teacher Amanda" and leading their own Little Beats Music session during their play once she's gone!
 
Amanda has been nothing but a ray of sunshine since she joined us, and her passion and professionalism shine through. We cannot recommend her enough!"
