  1. Kindermusik by Jan offers music and movement classes for babies, toddlers, big kids, and families from newborn to 7 years old. Try a class for FREE!

    Our classes nurture young children’s development—and not just their musical development. 

    As every parent knows, children grow at an amazingly fast pace, and in many ways at once. They’re busy developing their language (and literacy) skills every minute of every day—at the same time as they’re figuring out how to skip, hop, and jump; control their emotions; count to twenty; and get along with their friends. 

    Kindermusik understands this. So while our classes certainly help your child develop a lifelong love for music, they also do more than that: they help children develop language, social, emotional, and physical skills as well—all in the context of joyful, musically rich play!

    This recommendation was made verbally by a parent speaking to the KalliKids team and confirmed in writing.

    • Hannah, Mum of Felix (9), Beatrice (7) and Lawrence (3)

      All three of my children have attended Kindermusik classes and the younger two still attend. I think the classes are brilliant and my only complaint is that they stop at the age of 7! I am a semi-professional musician myself, highly critical of music classes and I did a lot of research when Felix was little. Kindermusik are by far the best and really teach music skills rather than simple nursery rhymes. The children learn to listen to different types of music from all over the world but also noises (such as animals) and even silence! Jan and Scott are both lovely and caring even beyond the class itself. They help Mums with young children with lack of sleep in their caring manner and adapt to the behaviour and personalities of the individual children. It is great to have Scott as a male role model too. All in all, the classes are great, the kids love listening to the CDs in the car and I recommend KindermusikbyJan without hesitation, they are great.

    • Rachel, Mum of Lara (4) and Ruby (6), Burgess Hill

      I heartily recommend Kindermusik. Both my girls have been going to Kindermusik with Jan and Scott since they were each three months old. Jan and Scott make people feel so at ease and are both very special people. The girls and other children adore them. The classes are interactive and teach the children so much about music and singing. The home materials are great including CDs, story books and musical instruments from drums, bells and progressing to glockenspiels as they get older. These all really help the children make the most of the classes as they can hear the songs at home and really get to know the music. You even get to keep the instruments so over the years you collect a range over the classes. The classes are not cheap but are certainly worth it and the more you put in with your children, the more they and you will get from it. The new church location is great too and parents can build a good social network in the café which is a bonus. For any parents thinking about joining Jan's or Scott's classes, I'd say "just do it, they are amazing".

    • Margaret, Mum of Charlotte (8) and Sophia (3 3/4), Hurstpierpoint

      Kindermusik is excellent; I have been to the classes for over seven years with my daughters. Charlotte started when she was a year old and she has learnt to read music effortlessly (and without knowing it), made friends for life, grown in confidence, and learnt so much by socialising and being exposed to new experiences.

      She is now playing the piano and I believe that has come as a logical progression through the Kindermusik classes. All the teachers are wonderful and aim to meet the needs of all the class; Jan in particular is amazing with the children. Jan is very special and makes the children feel special too. Scott is brilliant with the older children. Both Jan and Scott listen to parents' feedback. Even when pressed I can't think of any improvements. The classes are now in lovely new accommodation, in a good accessible location, with parking.

      The classes may cost a little more with the inclusion of the course materials, but these play a very important part, as the music is more diverse, being selected from around the world. Hence, being able to listen to the music and reading the books at home positively reinforces the classes in an enjoyable and helpful way. The classes are fun, yet educational on many levels. They provide a fantastic nurturing environment in which to spend quality time with your smaller child, or sharing time with your more confident older child.

      I highly recommend Kindermusik.

  5. Jan Holt

    I was born in London. My family moved to Hong Kong when I was 3 and returned when I was 6 to Lindfield where I was raised. My mother took me to see 'The Sound of Music' five times. The picture of Julie Andrews sitting on a hilltop with a guitar singing to a group of children has never left me. decided to pursue a career as a school teacher and took my degree at the University of Exeter where I also received a scholarship to study voice. My spare time was taken up in the local 'Gilbert and Sullivan Society,.


    When I graduated, I took up a teaching post in Surbiton. I had my own class, but taught music throughout the school. This work included running recorder groups, choirs and entering local music festivals.In 1987, I moved to Cambridge, Ontario, Canada to become a part of The Academy of Performing Arts. As part of the Music Company, I had time to write and perform musicals. I was also able to run workshops for the children of families that visited the Academy.


    I discovered Kindermusik in Cambridge, Ontario. I realised that this programme could encompass my love for music, children and the best of what I had enjoyed about teaching. I trained there and shortly after returned to the UK with my husband and 4 children to be near family again.


    I have been running the programme since 1998. I am delighted with the growth and thankful to the families that are finding it so beneficial.

    Scott Holt

    My first memory of enjoying music was at the age of 4 when I was given a guitar and I spent numerous hours singing and recording my very limited repetoire. An interest in the accordion soon developed into an interest in the organ and eventually the piano. I took my Grade 8 piano and theory exams with the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto achieving First Class Honours. I play trumpet and had regularly toured and performed with Concert, Stage, Jazz and Dixieland bands. I have also sung in choirs and have taken leading roles in Musical Theatre productions.


    I studied theatre at York University in Toronto, Ontario and The Academy of Performing Arts in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. This led to becoming a founding member of  Theatre & Company where aside from acting, I was also involved with stage managing and teaching international students.


    I have been Jan’s administrator for Kindermusik since she began in 1998 and have made the transition to become a Licensed Educator. I am particularly interested in teaching the 3 – 5’s and 5 – 7’s because the programmes are highly creative and include a lot of improvisation. They give children such a unique start to music.
