Keeping The Beat’s first customized SureStart CD – excerpt taken from Lewisham Online web page 15/11/2004

‘Staff at SureStart Downham have devised an innovative way of encouraging young children’s learning through music, by commissioning a free CD for the under 4s....This initiative is an original concept for SureStart Downham (as well as for SureStart nationally) and when the idea was first devised parents were consulted on what mix of music they would like to see on the CD so they feel they have contributed to the finished product.

Customised CDs.

Keeping The Beat are delighted to offer this innovative service to large scale programmes and initiatives, which are looking for a creative and exciting way to engage parents in their children’s learning.

Programmes can choose to order one of our CDs in bulk, at a discounted price, to be used either as it stands or as part of a pack for parents.

Keeping The Beat also offers the opportunity for organisations to create their own personalised CD, with their own artwork and logo on the cover if required.
CD and case

This method is particularly effective in encouraging parental and community involvement and giving families ownership of the CD, which is likely to encourage the regular use of it at home.

Please contact us for further details and a play list. We are also happy to discuss any other possibilities or ideas that you may have for your particular project.
