Hello and welcome to our website! Sign2Music is the only Northern Ireland based 'baby signing' organisation. Our programmes are specifically designed for and by Northern Ireland families, child care professionals and schools. 

We aim to promote the use of signing with children using regional NI British Sign Language (BSL) signs, in an enjoyable and fun way!! We offer classes, workshops, presentations and parties. We also offer staff training and sessions to nurseries, schools and pre-school. 

Babies are born with a natural desire to communicate. They instinctively use gestures, eg, raising their arms to be held, waving goodbye and pointing, to tell you what they want. Signing with your baby harnesses this natural tendency to gesture. If babies are consistently shown the sign for a word while it is being spoken, they understand the spoken word and sign mean the same thing. Children develop the fine motor skills in their hands long before they have the developmental capacity needed for speech. They are physically able to use signs from around 6 months, although the age at which children begin to use signs varies greatly (like all aspects of children's development) and depends on a number of factors. 

Many of the parents who attended Sign2Music classes have reaped the wonderful benefits of signing with their children. See the 'Testimonials' page for some of their feedback and the 'Signing Stories' page for examples of the useful and fun benefits of signing.

Signing is not just for babies. Sign2Music also offers classes for toddlers and for nurseries, schools and preschools. Signing continues to benefit children as they get older, helping them understand concepts such as colours, numbers and letters. It has also been shown to have massive benefits in early literacy skills and is a very relevant and fun way to learn for young children. Children also learn vocabulary from an official language, British Sign Language, a great communication and life skill.
