Online sessions with Bangers & Smash!
Like many music providers, Bangers & Smash ran online sessions as a way to provide continuity and support to families and Early Years settings during Covid-19.
Founder, Kitty Pidduck, led weekly sessions throughout Spring and Summer 2020 with opportunities for participants to:
sing and dance together
make and play junk instruments
listen to traditional and original songs
follow weekly or monthly themes
When lockdown eased, Kitty returned to teaching in regular Bangers & Smash nurseries – in person and via Zoom – as well as running bespoke online sessions for groups of families and friends.
Huge thanks to F’s Mum for sending this photo from one of Kitty’s first online music sessions!

‘Just to say, we really enjoyed the session yesterday. F seems to be getting more and more used to seeing you online each week and was really into it. And it’s really nice for him to see all of his friends enjoying it too.’

‘Bangers & Smash delivered wonderful interactive music and craft Early Years sessions last term and now they’re doing weekly open sessions online at a very reasonable £3.50 per family. Give it a go!’
