Music Hour

What is Music Hour?

A live Zoom class for toddlers and their caregivers, filled with storytelling, songs, movement and simple creative play. Caregivers take part alongside their child.

Rooted in language and identity

Children meet Arabic in a way that feels natural, joyful and pressure free. They do not study Arabic with us, they experience it.

  • Screen time with a purpose

  • Led live

  • Age level learning

The 10 week cohort

Each cohort is a 10 week Zoom experience where children learn, sing, move and explore with Adam and Mishmish: building early language, confidence, curiosity and a natural love of Arabic through guided play.

  • Children see the same group of children each week.
  • Each session builds vocabulary through progressive learning themes.
  • Repetition and a consistent routine build comfort and confidence, with subtle changes each week.
  • Designed for ages 6 months to 5 years.

Frequently asked questions

Is it right for my child?

What age is this for?

Music Hour is for children 6 months to 5 years, with a parent or caregiver. Younger toddlers join through movement and play while older ones sing along and interact more.

Does my child need to speak Arabic already?

No prior Arabic is needed. Children absorb it naturally through songs, repetition and play, with no homework or pressure.

Does the caregiver need to speak Arabic?

No. Teachers use visual cues, movement and repetition so everyone can follow along, whatever their level.

Can someone other than a parent join?

Yes. Grandparents, nannies, aunts or uncles, any trusted caregiver is welcome, as long as they take part alongside the child.

Inside the class

Is this just music, or more?

Each session has a hello circle, interactive songs with call and response, vocabulary activities, a creative moment, and a goodbye ritual.

How many children are in a class?

Each cohort is kept intentionally small, between 10 and 15 children, so every child gets the teacher's attention.

Is this worth it compared to free content online?

Live is very different from passive watching. You get a dedicated teacher, a small group of peers, and learning that builds week over week.

How is this different from watching Adam and Mishmish on YouTube?

YouTube is one directional: your child watches. Music Hour is live and interactive, so the teacher adapts in real time and the group grows familiar.

Joining in

What do we need to participate?

A device with a camera and microphone (a laptop or tablet works best), stable internet with Zoom, and a small open space to move. Simple household items become instruments.

What platform do you use?

Zoom, with one consistent link for your cohort. No extra software or accounts needed.

What time zone are classes in?

We offer multiple class times across time zones, shown in your local time when you register. Private cohorts can be arranged with enough interest.

What happens if we miss a session?

Individual sessions are not rescheduled, but where we can we share the materials so your child can catch up before the next class.

Booking and refunds

Can I try a single session first?

Yes. Trial sessions run with existing groups, so you get a real classroom preview before enrolling.

What if I have two or more kids in the age range?

Pricing is per household, not per child. Siblings can join together on one screen at no extra cost, as long as everyone is visible on camera.

What is your refund policy?

We do not offer refunds by default. If something comes up and you cannot continue, email us and we will look at it case by case, and where we can we will move your child to a later cohort. The trial fee is not refunded once the trial session has taken place. If we cancel a cohort, you get a transfer or a refund for the sessions not used.

What happens after the 10 weeks?

Families can join the next cohort with new themes and vocabulary, or new families can start fresh.
