LANALAND- WORLD OF MUSIC AND FUN FOR UNDER 5S AND THEIR FAMILIES

Weekly live music sessions for under 5s, family events, parties

What Lanaland- world of music and fun for under 5s and their families says

My sing-along sessions are pure joy. Together we sing, we dance, we laugh, we learn, we play, we introduce babies and toddlers to live music and carers a space to relax, socialise and engage and bond. The sessions are always mixed ages so siblings don't need to separate, the big kids can 'show off' in front of the babies and the babies can learn from the bigger kids. My sessions offer a bit of education and a bucket load of joy. I lead all of my sessions- bar discos- on the ukulele (with bells on my feet and a kazoo in my pocket!), with percussion, rainbows, puppets, parachute and, of course, lots of bubbles. The sessions are rootsy, full of rhythm, laid back and always very special. We always include lots of movement, songs about colour, counting songs, ABCs, songs about the body, weather, animals and I take requests too. My discos are energetic, interactive and immersive and feature lights, snow, pom poms, parachute, bubbles and a space for adults and children alike to jump, jive, jiggle to a bespoke playlist designed to be fun for everyone. Everyday's a party in Lanaland

About

I am Ilana (affectionately known as 'Ilana Banana'), children's entertainer and musician. I have over 20 years experience leading weekly music classes and parties and hosting family discos and community celebrations. I have 2 awards and 3 children's sing-along albums. I am also a jazz singer and songwriter who performs to the over 5s too!
I love what I do. The level of joy I receive and on a daily basis is a real blessing and privilege. The countless times I have heard screams from mum as baby takes their first steps, witnessing the journey as they come to me babes-in-arms and leave walking, talking and saying my name. In an often dark world, my sessions and parties are pure, infectious light and I am privileged that my 'work' is celebration.
