Once Upon a Tune offers live classical piano and interactive music sessions for care homes, adult day centres, nurseries, and parent–child groups. Each session is designed to be inclusive, uplifting, and engaging — encouraging participation and supporting wellbeing through music.

All sessions are led by me, Hannah Cressey — a classically trained pianist, qualified early years teacher, and parent to two young children. I have a first-class music degree with honours and extensive experience working with both children and adults in creative, educational, and care settings.

Sessions include live classical piano, singalongs, percussion instruments, scarves, ribbons, and other sensory props. For early years and parent–child classes, I also use puppets, storytelling, and themed activities to capture imaginations.

Yes — I bring everything needed for the session, including instruments, props, and a portable stage piano and PA system if the venue requires it.

Care home and adult day centre sessions are usually 60 minutes, nursery sessions 45 minutes, and parent–child classes 45–60 minutes depending on the format.

Yes — I hold public liability insurance and an enhanced DBS certificate covering work with both children and adults.
