Mini Boppers
Music sessions for parents and babies aged 1 to 4 years old
With a focus on tackling postnatal isolation, Mini Boppers is all about bringing parents together to form some warm, genuine community through rocking out to some music with our babies. The sessions are a combination of parent-focused fun such as singing our hearts out to some classic rnb/ pop/ rock bangers (absolutely NO singing experience needed) as well as baby-focused activities involving movement/ dancing, the fundamentals of music awareness (beat, pitch, dynamics), bonding, pretend play, reading, singing and instrument exploration.
Our sessions are led by two people:
Tash James - an incredible jazz vocalist and mother of two with a history of working as a child’s counsellor and music teacher
Jaymee Watkin - drum educator, workshop facilitator, owner of The Buttery and fun-enthusiast.
As of 2026, Mini Boppers will take place every Friday of term.

Tash james
Tash is a singer, flautist and songwriter, and mum to two young ones. She loves to play music with people of all ages, and especially loves to see the pride in children's eyes when they realise they are capable of not just listening to music but creating it too.
Tash gigged in London for several years with her seven-piece Funk/Jazz band; she also sang in gospel choirs in the city and is currently studying Jazz Vocals at the Queensland Conservatorium. Aside from music, she used to work as a Counsellor for children and young people, and brings her empathic and patient nature to the studio.
A former nomad, Tash is of mixed Afro-Caribbean/English/French/Portuguese heritage, and grew up in England, the Middle East and Hong Kong. She counts herself lucky to now call Brisbane home, and is so grateful to be able to bring her children up in such a beautiful place.
“Seriously awesome. Couldn’t be happier.”
