(Photograph) - Eleven-month-old Mia Godfrey wants to get in on the act as Jennifer Langridge plays the cello for a special class for mothers, toddlers and pregnant women in Glossop, Derbyshire. Jennifer, who has performed around the world with the Halle and BBC Philharmonic orchestras, believes that children are never too young to listen to classical music - even when they are still in the womb.

Jennifer is running regular classes in Glossop for parents and children up to age four. She can be contacted on 01457 858 555.
