About Me🎶🎶

The Class
Music with Miss Dolly is a dedicated music education platform in Oranmore, Galway, Ireland. My classes are designed to foster creativity and learning in children. Specialising in piano and percussion classes, I aim to nurture young talents.
Expect music, movement, dance and fun.

Me
I am a primary school teacher with over 15 years experience in working with children in Ireland and abroad. I am also a carer for my youngest son Laochra who is 4 years old. I love working with children and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, seen, and free to explore. My classes are led with warmth, patience, and plenty of flexibility, creating an environment where children can be exactly who they are.

What to expect in my class:
Each class is gently structured but flexible, with plenty of room for movement and exploration.
A typical session includes:
-
Singing familiar and new songs
-
Movement and action songs
-
Simple instruments
-
Sensory elements like bubbles and scarves
-
Calm moments alongside energetic ones
Toddlers are free to join in, move around, take breaks, or simply watch. Parents and carers stay with their child throughout and are encouraged to relax and enjoy the experience together.

Làmh
I have first hand experience in using Lámh sign language at home and use it throughout my class. My goal is to have my classes accessible and adaptable to suit individual needs and communication preferences of the children and parents who come to class.

Michelle is such a natural with the kids and with so much teaching experience behind her I know each class is planned to make sure the kids get the best out of it. Each child gets attention and there's variety in each class to keep them entertained. The little area to the side is a great touch for if they need a break. 10/10.
Michelle is so interactive and engages with every child. The songs were so catchy and uplifting. We were singing them for weeks. Such a gorgeous way to spend a morning! Michelle is super musical and has a huge selection of instruments and resources for the children to explore. Will be back again soon
Very well organised and structured. Good balance of group songs and free exploratory play. My little boy loved these sessions and we will definitely continue with the next term
