CHRISTCHURCH: Tessarose makes magical music that provides educational opportunities for young children. Music feeds the brain. It enhances language development, a feel for rhythm, and the ability to learn. We’ve developed a range of music (now in digital format) that can be used in a variety of pre-school settings. Our focus is on developing physical skills through the use of music while children are having fun.
