With a name like New Cod on the Block, we obviously had to visit and after a day at Onchan Park, it seemed like as good a time as any. Previously Fryers Fish and Chip Shop, it changed it’s name in April 2022 and is located in Village Walk, Onchan.

Children learn through singing, rhymes, clapping, using percussion instruments, dance and movement, listening to live and recorded music, and games. Whilst the goal of the classes is to make music fun, the children are unaware that they are learning key musical concepts (such as pitch, pulse, rhythm, dynamics, melody and harmony) in a structured way.
The classes are also designed to help prepare children for learning an instrument (normally around age 6-7), by teaching them to sing in tune; develop a good sense of rhythm; and by teaching them to read music notation. This helps to stop many of the frustrations that beginners encounter when they learn an instrument.
Non-walkers are free if they have an older sibling attending classes.
