Song Box is a much-loved, local, independent, community music provider, created in York by Thea Jacob back in 1994. Just a career break activity while her boys were small? Song Box has grown to become so much more, and even now, after the challenges of Covid, is still here.
We currently have:
"Song Box musical play groups" at Tang Hall and Knavesmire Children's Centres, maintaining access to musical play for local families, what ever their circumstances.
"Song Box sing-a-longs" and "Moving beyond words" in groups and 1:1, with adults, particularly supporting the most vulnerable and isolated, including on Dementia Units and adults with other communication and health challenges, in residential care.
"Song Box Discovery sessions" introducing children and their families to York's many wonderful cultural, heritage and environmental sites.
"4G intergenerational Song Box" bringing together elders and babies and toddlers, with their parents, to share musical fun and friendship available on request.
Thea's core values are “supporting personal development, self expression, community cohesion and cultural inclusion through shared music making and creativity”.
Thea is proud to have provided creative outreach and inclusion over many years, often in partnership with York Museums Trust, YUMI (York Unifying Multicultural Initiative), St Nicholas Fields Environment Centre, City of York Council, military families based in North Yorkshire, Holgate Windmill, York community gamelan, Mencap and many others.
Song Box sessions give you:
Small, friendly groups, welcoming and accessible to all
Great content, instruments and props
All live music
Affordable and flexible pricing.
Song Box offers mixed age, family musical play sessions, open to babies, toddlers and talkers, all in together, with their parents/carers. Sessions support all round child development, parenting skills and building social networks.
Fees are per family not per child. We offer half price places for families with a low household income. Places are booked in advance in affordable blocks
Light hearted, accessible, and inclusive, adult Song Box sessions, in groups or 1:1, enable residents to express themselves, creatively, socially and emotionally, as valued and appreciated individuals. I involve everyone, including people who have vocal, speech, co-ordination and mobility challenges such as Parkinson's, Aphasia, MS and Dementia, and adults with learning disabilities, plus family, friends, carers and staff.
Themed interactive sessions for babies, toddlers, talkers, pre-school and primary school age children with their families, at heritage, cultural and outdoor locations.
Our magical intergenerational sessions bring together elders and babies/toddlers, with their Mums and Dads, to share musical fun and friendship in care settings.
For fun, friendly, and creative live music sessions.
